CustomNet Requirements

Subject to Entrust and CBSA requirements, the Entrust Version 7 client is available for download from the CBSA or Entrust site for no extra charge.

The Entrust client handles the encryption and authentication of the messages between clients and CBSA.

Set-Up and Entrust Requirements

Once your company has signed the memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the CIG, CBSA will provide information in regard to downloading the Entrust Client. This includes documentation for Certificate Authority, as well as technical details on how to download the client.

CustomNet handles the communication and confirmation of messages sent between the client and CBSA. This includes all CBSA CADEX and ACROSS messages for which the client is signed up for with CBSA. You are able to run two instances, one for test, and one for production.

Note: CBSA maintains a separate testing environment, used when clients sign on for additional applications (such as RNS).

CustomsNet interfaces with the Entrust client - once it is installed and configured, there is no need to interact with the Entrust client directly.
