Highway carriers must transmit cargo and conveyance information electronically to CBSA before arriving at the border.

Highway carriers must transmit cargo and conveyance data electronically to CBSA; it must be received and validated at least one hour before arrival at the first port of arrival (and may be sent up to 30 days ahead). The customs broker links the release (for example PARS) to the cargo control number. Late, missing or incorrect data leads to delays and AMPS penalties.
