CARM

CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management System (CARM)

All Canadian imports must be registered with CARM. The system assesses and collects duties and taxes on commercial goods imported into Canada. Importers must post their financial security in CARM to be able to use the Release Prior to Payment (RPP)benefit which expedites the release of goods before payment. The major change is that importers are responsible for their own financial security for RPP and cannot rely on their custom brokers’ security. The deadline to establish their financial security in the CARM Client Portal is 12:00 pm PT May 20, 2025.
