However the red tape gauntlet becomes even more dreadful with systems outages. When most government agencies now require importers to submit release requests electronically, outages can add costs for importers.

Read More Electronic Longroom | CBSA Automates And Streamlines Paper Processes The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced in their 2021-22 Departmental Plan that “To further streamline commercial processing, the Agency will continue to implement the Electronic Longroom, an email and digital stamping service offered at some CBSA offices that provides an alternative way to submit certain documentation to the CBSA.
