Abstract
Delays can be substantially reduced if international carriers, freight forwarders, warehouse operators, and importers or customs brokers participate in Revenue Canada, Customs, Excise, and Taxation's (RCCET) EDI programs. The latest Customs 2000 initiative is the Accelerated Commercial Release Operations Support System (ACROSS). This program will allow importers or customs brokers to submit and obtain a commercial release electronically at any automated customs port throughout Canada. The program, scheduled for national implementation in March has the potential of changing importers and customs brokers business practices. In turn these changes will have a profound effect on the international carriers' customs clearance procedures. This paper first states why RCCET is introducing the ACROSS program and its potential benefits to all the participants involved in an international customs clearance. The paper then examines international carriers current release procedures and how these will change with the implementation of the new ACROSS program. For the covering abstract of this conference see IRRD number 872753. (A)
