This includes information regarding what is being shipped across the border, which contains highly sensitive information. This also includes data regarding clearance results, which is also sensitive. This flow contains information about a significant number of shipments, which increases the value of this data. This information is used later in the decision process. Future trips across the border take past data into account. Incorrect data here may lead to incorrect decisions made regarding letting something across the border. This is all recent data, it is not acted upon immediately. This system should operate correctly with a few missed messages. It is necessary for the sender to know if the message was received.
