PART 123--CUSTOMS RELATIONS WITH CANADA AND MEXICO--Table of Contents
 
     Subpart E--United States and Canada In-Transit Truck Procedures
 
Sec. 123.41  Truck shipments transiting Canada.


    (a) Manifest required. Trucks with merchandise transiting Canada 
from point to point in the United States will be manifested on United 
States-Canada Transit Manifest, Customs Form 7512-B Canada 8\1/2\. The 
driver shall present the manifest in four copies to U.S. Customs at the 
United States port of departure for review and validation.
    (b) Procedure at United States port of departure. The Customs 
officer receiving the manifest shall validate it by stamping each copy 
in the lower right hand corner to show the port name and date and by 
initialing each copy. All copies of the validated manifest then will be 
returned to the driver for presentation to Canadian Customs at the 
Canadian port of entry.
    (c) Procedure at Canadian ports of arrival and exit. Truck shipments 
transiting Canada shall comply with Canadian Customs regulations. These 
procedures generally are as follows:
    (1) Canadian port of arrival. The driver shall present a validated 
United States-Canada Transit Manifest Customs Form 7512-B Canada 8\1/2\, 
in four copies to the Canadian Customs officer, who shall review the 
manifest for accuracy and verify its validation by U.S. Customs. If the 
manifest is found not to be properly validated, the truck shall be 
required to be returned to the United States port of departure so that 
the manifest may be validated. If the manifest is validated properly and 
no irregularity is found, the truck will be sealed unless sealing is 
waived by Canadian Customs. The original manifest will be retained by 
Canadian Customs at the port of arrival, and the three copies will be 
returned to the driver for presentation to Canadian Customs at the 
Canadian port of exit.
    (2) Canadian port of exit. The driver shall present the three copies 
of the validated manifest to the Canadian Customs officer at the 
Canadian port of exit for certification. That officer shall verify that 
the seals are intact if the vehicle has been sealed or, if sealing has 
been waived, that there are no irregularities. After verification and 
certification of the manifest, two certified copies will be returned to 
the driver (one to be presented to U.S. Customs at the United States 
port of reentry, the other for the carrier's records), and the truck 
will be allowed to proceed to the United States.
    (d) Procedure at United States port of reentry. The driver of a 
truck reentering the United States after transiting Canada shall present 
a certified copy of the United States-Canada Transit Manifest, Customs 
Form 7512-B Canada 8\1/2\, to the U.S. Customs officer. If this copy of 
the manifest does not bear the certification of a Canadian Customs 
officer at the Canadian port of exit, the driver will be allowed to 
return to that port to have it certified. The driver will be allowed to 
break any seals affixed by Canadian Customs upon presentation of a 
certified manifest. If sealing has been waived, the U.S. Customs officer 
shall satisfy himself that the truck contains only that merchandise 
covered by the manifest which moved on the truck from the United States 
through Canada.
    (e) Proof of exportation from Canada. The certified copy of the 
manifest returned to the driver by Canadian Customs at the Canadian port 
of exit will serve as proof of exportation of the shipment from Canada.
