How do you obtain a 'B13A authorization code' without having a tracking number first?

We use Shipstation to export from Canada. It now recognizes if you need a B13A Export Declaration and will no longer let you ship without entering the 'authorization number'.  The problem with this is that you need a tracking number first in order to complete the B13A declaration... it is a catch 22 situation.

 

(We normally create shipping label first, then create and submit B13A in CERS portal, as well as have 3 printed copies.)

 

So, how can we now complete shipments that require a B13A? 

 

Thanks for any help!
