The 396M investment for eManifest will provide
the CBSA with electronic data that allows for 100
percent automated risk assessment before
shipments reach the border. Highway and rail
carriers will be required to submit
electronically and pre-arrival all cargo, crew
and conveyance information. This will allow the
CBSA to have the right information at the right
time in order to make informed decisions.
