Navigating Canada's CARM requirements? Stay compliant and avoid costly border delays!
W.T. Express Canada, member of Conqueror Freight Network in Toronto, is helping freight forwarders and importers understand the mandatory requirements of the CBSA's Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) system.
With CARM now fully mandatory, importers must ensure they have:
✔️A valid Business Number (BN) and Import/Export Program (RM) account
✔️Registration in the CARM Client Portal
✔️Delegated authority for their customs broker
✔️Appropriate financial security if enrolled in Release Prior to Payment (RPP)
⚠️ Missing requirements can lead to shipment holds, additional storage and demurrage charges, and customs clearance delays.
