Note: The CBSA outage issue has been resolved as of Wednesday, June 11, 2025, all shipments are now being processed normally.
What happened?
The Canada Border Services Agency’s EDI and eManifest systems—both required to clear cross-border packages—went offline on June 4, 2025, and remain down. Because every Canadian shipper relies on these platforms, the outage has halted outbound processing nation-wide.
