9. © 2002 Perimeter Clearance Coalition Perimeter Clearance Strategy to Realize a Smart Border for the 21st Century 9 There are three immediate actions that must be advanced in the near term: 1) Achieve regulatory requirements for the Processing Zone Concept: The global competitiveness of Canadian and American businesses depend on the capabilities provided for by the Processing Zone Concept. Realization of this requires Canadian legislation to provide for authorities to customs and immigration officers. This will be essential to efficient border management, achievement true joint facilities, securing border crossing infrastructure and elimination of congestion. These in turn will enable the facilitated processing of known low-risk goods and people to shift focus to high-risk groups. 2) Bi-National Data Sharing: Adopting a standard and implementing inter-agency and bi-national data sharing is critical to Perimeter Clearance communication of information. This item is particularly important for Customs processing. This would allow for enhanced security and expediting processing such as first point of arrival processing, and sea container targeting. Without achieving this, Canada would be precluded from participating in a Perimeter Clearance Strategy. 3) Deployment of NEXUS at land borders: The expedited land border program for passenger vehicles is needed to support the growth in traffic and to alleviate current congestion. Expediting this traffic is important to the growth of tourism, as well as to linking expedited systems to be deployed on other modes (e.g. marine, air). Moreover, its deployment is one of the main requisites for achieving access of pre-cleared trucks to primary processing booths. Key Actions to Achieve Traffic Streaming

13. Goods Flow 1: International Goods Clearance to Transborder Destinations (Point of First Arrival) Key Benefits Eliminates full initial Customs inspection at US/Canada Border thereby reduces congestion and delay at the border Increases security, as cargo is pre-screened for risk level determination & is inspected at point of first arrival Increases knowledge and time for destination countrys custom service before actual goods arrive at the 49th parallel for subsequent admissibility review decisions and further review if required Reduces costs and delays for both governments and supply chains Reduces train disassembling at 49th parallel Challenges Requires data sharing and computer system interoperability between Canada and U.S. Customs Agencies Requires 24/7 port operation and inspection equipment/technology resources Requires cross designation between U.S. and Canada Customs to perform reviews and inspections in point of first arrival country on instructions and to the standards of the destination country An alternative, after passage by Parliament of companion legislation to airport pre-clearance, is expanding pre-clearance to land borders and seaports to perform the admissibility review and inspections. Initial Review indicates cross-designation at seaports would be the less costly and preferred course of action 123 Marine or Air Reporting Prior to Arrival Canada Customs Review Admission to Canada CURRENT 4 Primary Examination 5 US/Canada Border Release (Rail/Truck) Sealed & Transported to US Border 6 Delivery to US Destination 7 Assessment & Redress Secondary Examination PERIMETER 234 Marine or Air Reporting Prior to Arrival Canada/US Customs Examination Cargo Sealed Admission to Canada and conditionally released for U.S. Delivery 5 Expedited Transborder Lane (for Random/Selected Checks) Sealed & Transported to US Border 6 Delivery to US Destination Rail/Truck Registered Driver 1 Advanced Information Transmission 7 Assessment & Redress Detention Secondary Examination Transmission of information to / from the INTEGRATED INFORMATION SYSTEM © 2002 Perimeter Clearance Coalition 13 Perimeter Clearance Strategy to Realize a Smart Border for the 21st Century

14. Goods Flow 2: Transborder Clearance: Pre-determined Low Risk U.S. or Canadian Goods Crossing in Either Direction Key Benefits 80% of trucks can clear at primary without queuing Eliminates waiting delays and congestion at the border Facilitates just in time delivery Reduces costs and enhances competitiveness Reduces train disassembling at 49th Parallel Significantly reduces environmental discharges of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrous oxides (NOx) Challenges Requires implementation of a joint low-risk passenger system (NEXUS) as 85% of vehicles are cars. Known low-risk car traffic needs to be facilitated to allow streaming of pre-determined low risk trucks for expedited access Requires streaming of traffic (see diagram on subsequent page), segregating and facilitating known pre-approved low-risk, queuing all unknown and other cars and trucks for increased scrutiny. This is key to improved security and efficient processing of pre-determined low risk trade and people Requires driver registration Requires legislation to permit US/Canada officials to administer own statutes in the other country to allow primary examinations to be performed in the most efficient way CURRENT PERIMETER 123 Complete Registration and approval for low-risk designation (Companies, Goods, Drivers) EDI/Internet Transmission of Shipment Data to Customs Customs Review/Decision Prior to Arrival or For Line Release and BRASS bar code is wanded at arrival 4 Expedited Transborder Lane (Random/Selected Checks) 5 Delivery to Destination Similar but very limited -- no expedited access to primary processing (delayed in regular truck & car queues) 6 Assessment & Redress Transmission of information to / from the INTEGRATED INFORMATION SYSTEM © 2002 Perimeter Clearance Coalition 14 Perimeter Clearance Strategy to Realize a Smart Border for the 21st Century

15. Goods Flow 3: Transborder Clearance: High or Unknown Risk US or Canadian Goods Crossing in Either Direction CURRENT SYSTEM is essentially the same for both cases, with higher volumes in these categories than would occur with the proposed perimeter clearance system. Key Benefits Proposed Perimeter and Pre-Determined Low Risk Clearance System will result in more importers and carriers applying for expedited programs with streaming access. Allows identification and increased focus on the other than known low risk category, thereby increasing enforcement capability and threat detection. Challenges Requires appropriation of required staff, technology, inspection equipment and intelligence capability to process this risk category at a pace which avoids congestion build-up, so as to prevent expedited access of pre-determined low risk to the border crossing.
