The Commercial Cash Entry Processing System (CCEPS) is a self-serve automated system that helps clients prepare the required documents for clearing their commercial imports. The system assists the clients in completing the B3 coding form and automatically calculates the duties and taxes owing. Personal computers are located in designated CBSA offices where clients can input their shipment information. To use CCEPS, clients require a business number (importer number) and an invoice or other supporting documents such as cargo control documents, permits and certificates, if applicable. Based on the information inputted for the imported goods, CCEPS calculates the applicable duties and taxes and generates a completed paper copy of a Form B3 that the client signs and then submits to the border services officer. The information is entered into ACROSS and if the information is accurate and no problems are found, the paperwork will continue to be processed. Once the client receives proof of payment, he or she must then present this document to the warehouse operator to obtain his or her goods. For more information, contact your nearest CBSA office.
