PARS BARCODES

PARS LABELS - What is a PARS label? A PARS label is used by Canada Customs (CBSA) for importing goods into Canada. The PARS Barcode is used on the Commercial Invoice at the time the shipment is picked up in the United States. A PARS barcode is attached to the Commercial Invoice. The Commercial Invoice with PARS label is sent by email or Fax to the Canadian Customs Broker who enters information, including PARS number, in Canada Customs computer system. Our eManifest Service Centre also uses the PARS number to enter information in the ACI eManifest (Advanced Commercial Information System) with CBSA. When driver arrives at Canadian Border, Canada Customs scans the PARS label on Invoice and driver proceeds. PARS Labels can be used in sets of 1, 2, 3 or more of each sequential number. Unlike the multi-page Cargo Control document (A8A-B 5-part form) the PARS process only requires one label per shipment. Ofter carriers will use duplicate or triplicate PARS labels on other documents for filing..
