Canada: CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) mandatory registration extended to October 2024
Companies importing goods into Canada must register in the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment Revenue Management (CARM) Client Portal
Companies importing goods into Canada must register in CARM Client Portal
Companies importing goods into Canada must register in the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment Revenue Management (CARM) Client Portal and post financial security by October 2024 (extended from 14 May 2024).
The CARM project is a mandatory multi-year initiative to transform the collection of duties and taxes for goods imported into Canada.
The online CARM Client Portal (CCP) is currently available to register companies, delegate access and permissions, view account information, apply for advanced customs rulings, and make electronic payments directly to CBSA for duties and taxes. Rather than submitting payment to customs brokers, which will be a discontinued practice by October 2024, the online CCP will be the sole platform to communicate with the CBSA and make payments.
