VISUAL IMPORTER — CSA

Import Process Systems For Customs Self Assessment

With the introduction of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) Customs Action Plan — including compliance management through importer risk assessment, and monetary penalties for non-compliance — importers are expecting an expedited border clearance process, summarized periodic reporting, and post-importation audits rather than the current transaction-by-transaction paradigm.

A component of the Customs Action Plan is Customs Self Assessment (CSA), a streamlined accounting and payment process for imported goods. Under CSA, importers use their own business systems to fully self assess and meet their customs obligations.

The MSR CSA software solution works in conjunction with our Visual Importer Customs Compliance System to provide a robust solution for increasing a company's Customs compliance levels. It also allows for the tighter integration of customs processes with a company's other business systems and processes, a key requirement of the CSA program. The suite includes:

  • CSA shipment entry and/or capture (from broker or ERP system)
  • Entry adjustments (X-type entries)
  • Additional CSA entry error checking and validation
  • Revenue adjustment entry and/or capture
  • Revenue Summary Form (RSF) generation
  • Automated Trade Chain Partner (TCP) updates
  • Extensive reporting (revenue liability, CSA shipments, adjustments)

MSR Import, Export, and Compliance solutions have a proven track record of increasing return-on-investment by closing gaps in customs compliance, while increasing efficiencies, accuracy, internal labour savings, external cost savings, and your corporate knowledge base.

CCRA officially tested and approved the MSR Visual Importer CSA solution in April, 2002.
