Marine Risk Assessment Notices
There are different types of risk assessment notices that may be issued.
The CBSA system will send "Do Not Load"; "Do Not Unload"; "Hold" and "Cancellation" messages to the relevant parties via the same EDI route as the incoming transmission. These messages will reference the cargo control number, supplementary reference number, container number, and conveyance reference number, as applicable.
The following chart illustrates the types of messages, the conditions of the message, the parties who will receive the message, and the timeframes for issuance of the risk assessment message.
| Message | Conditions - when issued | Sent to | Timeframe | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CC | TC | FF | |||
| Do Not Load | More information is required to complete the security risk assessment process; | Y | N | Y* | Within 24 hours of receipt of the Cargo Report or in those cases where the supplementary data indicator is "Y", within 24 hours of the EDTL |
| To advise the carrier to await instructions from foreign Customs administrations; and | Y | N | N | ||
| CBSA determines the shipment cannot be loaded onto any vessel bound for Canada. | Y | Y+ | N | ||
| Do Not Unload | CBSA determines that the cargo cannot be unloaded in Canada | Y | Y | N | Subsequent to the cargo being loaded onto the vessel in the foreign port |
