CBSA Service Outage Causes Delays at Border

Following message just received from CBSA:   UPDATE 19 - Delays in Processing EDI and eManifest Portal Messages Clients Affected   All clients and service providers who transmit trade data using EDI and eManifest portal.   Description UPDATE 19: *** We have identified the root cause of the issue; it has not yet been fully resolved. However, we continue to experience significant delays in processing all inbound and outbound messages. There is no ETR identified yet, but due to the volume of messages to be processed WE EXPECT THE DELAYS ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. *** Further, the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority is advising Canada-bound commercial carriers to avoid the Peace Bridge crossing "until further notice".

⚠️ CBSA Notice: Potential Clearance Delays We want to inform our network and clients in cross-border trade about ongoing CBSA system issues that may affect clearance timelines. Our customs team reports that CBSA is currently limiting acceptance of paper entries to special individual cases only. For many shipments, CBSA won’t proceed unless the corresponding arrival messages (from railway or warehouse) have been received and delays in those upstream systems are creating bottlenecks. In practice, this means that many shipments must now wait for EDI / electronic message processing to clear, which is causing further delays. 📌 What you should know: • CBSA is currently limiting acceptance of paper entries to special individual cases only. • Shipments may face delays if arrival messages from railways or warehouses are missing. • Outbound EDI / eManifest processing (acknowledgments, rejects, notices) is experiencing delays, even though inbound data is being accepted. • During outages, CBSA will accept paper documentation under contingency rules, without monetary penalties but this is not a universal fallback. ✅ What we’re doing • Monitoring CBSA system status in real time. • Submitting documentation at the earliest possible windows. • Working closely with carriers, warehouses, and clients to reduce bottlenecks. 📌 What you can do: • Prepare all supporting paperwork in advance. • Keep close tracking of arrival messages. • Avoid duplicate submissions to prevent further slowdowns. • Contact your customs team for live shipment status updates. At DTS Advance Logistics, our priority is to help clients navigate these challenges with clarity, compliance, and continuity. We’ll continue to provide updates as CBSA resolves these technical issues. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. — DTS Advance Logistics | Trade Compliance Team #DTSAdvanceLogistics #CBSA #CustomsBrokerage #TradeCompliance #CrossBorderLogistics #SupplyChainCanada #FreightForwarding #CBSA #CanadaTrade #CrossBorderLogistics #NorthAmericaTrade #InternationalTrade #CustomsClearance #BorderDelays #TradeUpdates #FreightDelays #EDI #LogisticsCanada #GlobalTrade #LogisticsSolutions #SupplyChainManagement #ImportExport

DAILY CLIENT ADVISORY Topic: ACE Portal Modernization — New Features for Importers and Brokers U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continues its phased ACE Portal Modernization, designed to enhance visibility, usability, and data integration for the trade community. The modernized interface improves navigation, search capabilities, and data analytics for both importers and licensed customs brokers. Key Highlights: • Modernized Dashboard: Centralizes account data for faster access to reports and entry summaries. • Enhanced Search Tools: Enables cross-module queries to support audits and compliance reviews. • Real-Time Data Visualization: Simplifies tracking for entry filings, liquidation, and drawback claims. • Phase Transition: Legacy ACE Portal will operate in parallel until full migration is complete. • Reference: CBP CSMS #55722821 – ACE Portal Modernization Deployment Update. Why It Matters: For importers and brokers, these updates reduce administrative burden and strengthen Responsible Supervision & Control under 19 CFR §111.1. Review your internal SOPs and training to align with the new tools and maintain compliance efficiency #TradeCompliance #CBP #CustomsBroker #ACEPortal #ImportOperations #CARGOTRON

Shutdown? CBP says “keep calm & clear on.” ✔️ Ports open. ✔️ 90%+ staff active. ✔️ Shipments still moving. ⚠️ Refund disbursements may lag. ⚠️ Check PGAs (USDA, NOAA, TTB) directly—CBP can’t cover for them. 👉 This is exactly why working with a bonded 3PL like Meiborg helps—when things get murky, we keep you compliant, on track, and in touch with the right port contacts so you’re not left hanging in a shutdown shuffle. #CustomsBrokerage #BondedWarehouse #ImportExport #TradeCompliance #GovernmentShutdown #GlobalTrade #CBPUpdates #3PLSolutions #LogisticsLeadership

Export Data Processing & Monitoring System / Import Data Processing & Monitoring System Reconciliation of Export / Import Entries - Review of Guidelines. RBI has eased Compliance for small value Export Import Bills (equivalant to ₹ 10 Lacs). Instead of exhaustive documentation, AD Category - I Banks can now close entries in EDPMS / IDPMS based on simple declaration obtained from customers, in bulk too. These guidelines are to facilitate timely closure of entries & to reduce Compliance burden on small exporters & importers. Additionally, without imposing penalties, they have to ensure fair charges.

Mandatory registration of Exporters & Importers on RBI IEDPMS Portal* As per recent information from FED RBI Office, a new process has been introduced for mandatory registration of exporters/importers on the IEDPMS portal to access all pending shipping bills/BOEs/ERM/ORM across AD Banks. Key Action Required: Exporters/Importers must register themselves on the portal using specific credentials. Without this registration, they will not be able to access the portal. Please refer to the following step-by-step registration process to guide customers accordingly: Registration Process 1. Visit the RBI IEDPMS Portal: https://edpms.rbi.org.in 2. Click on Customer Registration (right-hand side of the login screen). 3.

Exporter/importer not to give different e-mail id & mobile number to multiple banks where they hold relation ship as IEDPMS portal will allow to register with only latest updated e-mail id & mobile numbers. #RBI #EDMPS #IDPMS

🚨 GSTN Clarifies – No Change in ITC Auto-Population under IMS (Effective Oct 2025) GSTN has issued an important clarification regarding the Invoice Management System (IMS) implementation: ✅ No Change in Auto-Population: ITC will continue to auto-populate from GSTR-2B to GSTR-3B as before — no manual intervention or new process introduced. 🗓️ GSTR-2B Generation: Still generated automatically on the 14th of every month. Taxpayers can perform actions in IMS even after 2B generation and regenerate GSTR-2B if required before filing 3B. 📄 Credit Note Handling (From Oct 2025 period): Recipients can now choose to keep credit notes pending or accept them later, with flexibility to reverse ITC only to the extent availed. 🔹 In summary: IMS aims at better invoice-level transparency — no new compliance burden, just smarter reconciliation flexibility. #GST #IMS #GSTN #GSTR2B #GSTR3B #TaxCompliance #IndiaGST #IndirectTax #FinanceProfessionals

💡Did you know? 💡CBP has updated the #ACE Secure Data Portal to support electronic refunds via #ACH — a major step toward payment modernization under Executive Order 14247. Key highlights: ✅ Trade Account Owners (TAOs) can now add U.S. bank details directly in the ACE Portal under the new ACH Refund Authorization tab. ✅ This replaces the old manual ACH Refund Enrollment form for importers receiving refunds from CBP. ✅ Each bank account must be added for every 5106 EIN + Suffix level individually. ✅ December 2025: New user permissions will allow others (besides TAOs) to manage ACH information. ✅ For now, refunds will still be issued by check — this update simply prepares the trade for electronic refunds ahead. 📅 This enhancement simplifies refund management and supports future automation. Customs brokers and importers should review their ACE Portal access and ensure they have the correct Importer sub-account setup to take advantage of the new feature. 🔗 Read all the details: https://lnkd.in/gsFUEaMs
