NEW DETROIT FACILITY OPENED!!!

We are very pleased to announced the opening of a third Advanced Border Processing Center. The new facility is located in Detroit, Michigan at 3333 W. Fort St. with access from I-75, I-95 and I-96.

Did you know….Approximately 30% of trucks crossing the border today are not released at the primary inspection booth? Of that 30%, approximately 95% are referred to secondary for paperwork processing only (average time spent in processing paperwork is approximately 2 hours)

WHAT IS IT?

• A centre of excellence, which will service those drivers who do not have the means to transmit customs information prior to arrival at the border
   
• A facility which enables the border process and U.S. Customs analysis to happen well in advance of the driver's arrival at the border
   
• A facility whose principal role is supported by both U.S. Customs and Canada Customs
   
• A facility that meets the U.S. Customs requirements for pre-arrival information
   
• A facility that responds to recommendations of the 30 point action plan and other local community groups

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• Driver arrives at the centre, presents paperwork to centre staff employees/or paperwork is sent ahead of the drivers arrival by either the shipper, the manufacturer, the carrier or freight forwarder
   
• Employee ensures driver has necessary documentation
   
• If required, additional information is secured or driver is assisted with documents
   
• Documentation is scanned and transmitted to the U.S. Customs broker of record
   
• Confirmation of receipt and completeness is acknowledged
   
• Driver continues in-transit to the border, confident the broker and U.S Customs have sufficient time to process the shipment information.

WHY IS IT NECESSARY?

• Because a substantial percentage of the trade community is not equipped to transmit the necessary information
   
• Because enhanced border security features and processes in both Canada and the U.S. have changed the border flow
   
• Because border processes have not sufficiently supported the increase in cross border trade
   
• Because the centre responds to all of these changes and will meet the needs of the future requirements and information
