CARM

The CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) initiative has completely transformed the way the CBSA manages the import of commercial goods into Canada and the way the agency interacts with importers and customs brokers. The CBSA rolled out its online CARM portal in May 2021, allowing importers to register on it. It is mandatory for an importer to register their company on the CARM client portal, grant access to their employees, delegate authority to their customs broker, post a financial security instrument and be prepared to sign up for direct payment methods to the CBSA before CARM Version 2 takes effect, which is scheduled for October 2023.

Using real-life examples, our customs expert will cover the following topics:

  • CARM overview
  • CARM timeline
  • What is changing under CARM and what is staying the same?
  • The CARM Client Portal (CCP)
  • What are “delegation of access” and “delegation of authority”?
  • What is a “financial security instrument”?
  • Fee payment options under CARM
  • How can W2C help you?
Who can benefit from this training?
  • Buyers
  • Logistics and transport officers
  • Import-export assistants
  • Company representatives
  • Accounting employees
  • Sales employees
  • Department managers
  • Business owners
  • Anyone interested in customs activities
Specific objectives
  • Understand the basic architecture of CARM

  • Present the timelines and milestones for implementing the CARM initiative

  • Know the options and methods of payment for duties, taxes and other fees payable to the CBSA that will be available following the implementation of Release 2 in October 2023
