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. One of the changes brought about by CARM requires each importer to file their own financial security with the CBSA in order to continue to receive Release Prior to Payment (RPP) privileges. In addition to registering your company on the CARM online portal, this requirement to post financial security is one of the most important changes that will affect your importing activities in the future.

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

  • What is the Release Prior to Payment (RPP) privilege?
  • How is CARM changing this privilege?
  • How can importers post financial security with the CBSA?
  • Understanding the differences between the two main financial security options
  • How to calculate the importer’s security coverage?
  • What happens if your company does not file financial security with the CBSA?
  • Under CARM, the CBSA will monitor your security level. What does this mean?
  • How can you prepare in advance for the financial security requirement so as to avoid the anticipated bottleneck in the fall of 2023?
  • Where do I get a Customs bond and when should I get it?
Who can benefit from this training?
  • Buyers
  • Logistics and transport officers
  • Import-export assistants
  • Company representatives
  • Accounting employees
  • Sales employees
  • Department managers
