The CBSA ACI (Canada Border Services Agency Advance Commercial Information) Air System is an electronic data interchange system used for air cargo entering Canada. It’s a pre-arrival risk assessment program that requires carriers to electronically transmit cargo and conveyance information to the CBSA before arrival in Canada.
The ACI Air System works alongside parallel systems for marine, rail, and highway shipments, all designed to enhance border security while facilitating legitimate trade into Canada.
The CBSA ACI system also aligns with international security standards and similar programs in other countries like the CBP ACE Air System, helping to create a more secure and efficient global supply chain system.
