credentials

Rai Express Lines prides itself in providing top-notch customer service.  As part of this commitment to our customers, we have obtained several certifications that allow us to move your freight more efficiently and quickly.
 

 

       FAST

 

The Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program is a Canada–United States initiative involving the Canada Border Services Agency and the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

FAST supports moving pre-approved eligible goods across the border quickly and verifying trade compliance away from the border.

It is a commercial process offered to pre-approved importers, carriers, and registered drivers. Shipments for approved companies, transported by approved carriers using registered drivers, will be cleared into either country with greater speed and certainty, and at a reduced cost of compliance.

CSA

 

As part of the Customs Action Plan, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) introduced the Customs Self Assessment (CSA) program, a trade option for clients who invest in compliance.

Among other benefits, the CSA program gives approved importers, approved carriers, and registered drivers the benefits of a streamlined clearance option for CSA eligible goods. The streamlined clearance process ends the need for transactional transmissions of data related to eligible goods. This allows for the clearance of goods based on the identification of the approved importer, approved carrier, and registered driver.

PIP

 

Partners in Protection (PIP) enlists the cooperation of private industry in efforts to enhance border security, combat organized crime and terrorism, increase awareness of customs compliance issues and help detect and prevent contraband smuggling.

 

 

       CTPAT

 

C-TPAT is a voluntary government-business initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen and improve overall international supply chain and U.S. border security.

C-TPAT recognizes that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can provide the highest level of cargo security only through close cooperation with the ultimate owners of the international supply chain such as importers, carriers, consolidators, licensed customs brokers, and manufacturers.

Through this initiative, CBP is asking businesses to ensure the integrity of their security practices and communicate and verify the security guidelines of their business partners within the supply chain.

 

       ACE

 

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the commercial trade processing system developed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to facilitate legitimate trade while strengthening border security.

Truck carriers are able to file an e-Manifest for shipments through the ACE Secure Data Portal or by utilizing the services of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tested solution provider.  The main benefits for truck carriers and their customers include reduce processing times at borders and streamlined administration with the ability to store conveyance, crew, equipment, shipper and consignee information in an account, reducing the amount of information submitted with each crossing.

Canada Bonded Carrier

The Bonded Carrier Program lets carriers move goods past the Canadian border to another Customs office, where duties and taxes are paid by the importer.

The Canada Border Services Agency's (CBSA's) Import Process Division authorizes customs bonded carriers authorities in all modes of transportation. The division evaluates and approves bonded carrier and freight forwarder applications.
