If you are a Canadian importer or NRI (Non-Resident Importer) you will want to keep up to date on CARM . Many US exporters act as Non-Resident Importers in Canada. A Non-Resident Importer is a business located outside of Canada that ships goods to customers in Canada and assumes responsibility for customs clearance and other import-related requirements.

The launch date for CARM has been pushed back to October 21, 2024. To register contact your Canadian Customs Broker or access the Client Portal on the CBSA website.

As a reminder, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) project is a multi-year digital initiative that will change how CBSA collects duties and taxes for goods imported into Canada. Through CARM, the CBSA will modernize and streamline the process of importing commercial goods.

The Government of Canada has amended the Order that brings into force the final legislative changes for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) digital initiative. These legislative amendments, and associated regulations, will now come into force on October 21, 2024. On this day, CARM will be made available to trade chain partners as it will become the official system for the collection of duties and taxes for goods imported into Canada.
