CARM's Impact on Canadian Imports

All imports into Canada are now affected by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) system. Every commercial importer has been impacted, and registration for the CARM Client Portal is mandatory.

Importers are now responsible for posting their own financial security to participate in the Release Prior to Payment (RPP) program. Without compliance, your shipments may face delays, and late penalties could apply.
