Warehouse Arrival Certification Message (WACM)
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW • Description of WACM • Reject Messages • WACM Scenarios • Contacts • Questions 2
What is WACM? • Electronic warehouse arrival certification message (WACM) is an inland Cargo arrival notification • Transmitted by warehouse operators who are registered participants in the CBSA’s Release Notification System (RNS), using an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) method, when commercial goods physically arrive at the inland sufferance warehouse to which they are destined • On May 6, 2015 the requirement for WACM became mandatory under an amendment to the Customs Sufferance Warehouses Regulations • This requirement replaces the current manual arrival and transfer of liability process at inland destinations that requires warehouse operators to endorse the cargo control document, bill of lading, waybill or other similar document provided by the carrier. • This mandatory requirement applies to operators of all types of CBSA- licensed sufferance warehouses. Following a 45 business day implementation period, non-compliant warehouse operators may be subject to penalties starting on July 10, 2015 . 3
