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.
