Courier LVS Program - Three Additional Eligibility Requirements for Participation
Canada Border Services Agency Jan 24, 2012
The CBSA has introduced three additional eligibility requirements for participation in the Courier Low-Value Shipment (LVS) Program. In addition to the existing requirement for participants to be bonded carriers, companies must:
- Be approved as PIP bonded carriers or couriers;
- Allow the CBSA to use their proprietary systems for reporting, release and risk assessment purposes; and
- Transmit pre-arrival cargo data to the CBSA as companies already do for high-value shipments. (This requirement will come into force at a later date.)
The new eligibility requirements will ensure that the Courier LVS Program is harmonized with other CBSA import streams and World Customs Organization international standards, continues to provide an expedited service within a secure environment, and operates within the CBSA mandate by providing a proper balance between facilitation and security.
The deadline for current participants to indicate their intention to withdraw or remain in the Courier LVS Program expired December 30, 2011. Participants should direct any inquiries via e-mail Wendy Guard, Manager, Courier LVS Program, at Wendy.Guard@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca or Vincent Millar, Senior Program Advisor, Courier LVS Program, at Vincent.Millar@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca.
