8. At least one hour prior to arrival:
Carriers will transmit cargo, conveyance and driver data
Freight forwarders, if required, will transmit secondary data
Importers/Brokers will transmit admissibility data
Within one hour, CBSA will:
Electronically validate and confirm receipt of data through notifications to carriers, freight forwarders and importers/brokers
Conduct automated risk assessment of shipments and crew/drivers
Make an entry/examination decision
With Transponder:
As the truck approaches PIL:
If the driver is registered, the transponder within the registration card will be read, allowing CBSA officer to confirm identity and admissibility.
The transponder on the conveyance will be read, linking the truck with the previously sent and risk assessed data, allowing for communication of entry/examination recommendation.
With Barcode:
When the truck is at PIL:
CBSA officer will scan barcode provided by the driver, linking the previously sent and risk assessed data, allowing for immediate communication of entry/examination recommendation.
If the driver is not registered, CBSA officer will verify identity and admissibility based on previously sent driver data and admissibility assessment.
Shipments will be authorized to move or referred for examination.
On an ongoing, post-arrival, basis:
Risk assessment will be systematically refined and enhanced using a Data Warehouse that will employ pattern detection and trend analysis
Compliance management activities will be conducted to monitor data quality
Automated management reports will be generated to monitor program effectives and results

9. 9 eManifest Stakeholder Partnership Network (eSPN) The CBSA is establishing a network of external stakeholders that will provide the expertise necessary to ensure the successful design, development and implementation of the eManifest initiative
eSPN working groups will focus on the “how” of design, development and implementation
The CBSA will work together with stakeholders to implement solutions that work for both the CBSA and industry
The inaugural meeting of the eSPN will be held in Ottawa on January 18, 2007
10. 10 Partners In Protection/C-TPAT
CBSA’s Partners In Protection (PIP) program is a voluntary program to enhance trade chain supply security and facilitate trade.
PIP is a CBSA initiative that promotes effective partnerships with the private sector to:
· Enhance border security
· Exchange information
· Increase awareness of customs compliance issues
CBSA’s commitment under the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) is to make the PIP and C-TPAT program requirements compatible. (Deliverable 2.1.2)
CBSA is currently exploring greater linkages with the C-TPAT program to ensure compatibility of requirements.
CBSA is seeking to enhance the rigour of the PIP program by
· Implementing mandatory minimum security requirements
· Increasing the capacity to conduct on-site verifications/ joint verifications/mutual recognition
· Explore Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) concept
Business Resumption Planning at the Border - Protocols
Develop coordinated business resumption protocols at the border (POEs) in the event of an unexpected disaster and/or increased alert levels.
Current Status
CBSA and CBP have developed draft protocols, which include work specific to:
Communication and Coordination
· More structured communications.
· Flexible enough to apply to both headquarters-level and local-level communications and
· Will address the need for clear, uniform, and timely messages from CBP and CBSA during an incident.
Border Access
· Options to facilitate the movement of people and goods in the event of an office closure, due to an increased alert level, a disaster, or a pandemic.
· Plan for the fact that certain critical goods/people will need to cross the border during a major disruption.
· Continue to operate trusted traveler and trader programs, even during times of heightened security or alert.
· Engage appropriate authorities for traffic re-routing and traffic management within respective jurisdictions.
A draft of CBP/CBSA Business Resumption Planning Principles & Protocols was finalized and tested during two tabletop exercises in Detroit in July 2006 with participation from governments and industry stakeholders.
The exercises demonstrated the need to further develop the detailed activities required to fully implement the protocols.
