Are you ready for CARM?

The Government of Canada is modernizing and streamlining the collection of duties and taxes for goods imported into Canada via the CARM Client Portal: CARM (canada.ca)

What is CARM?  

CBSA has launched a multi-year initiative to modernize, streamline, and transform the importation of shipments into Canada.  The key focus of this initiative is to develop capabilities that will simplify and reduce import costs, and enhance compliance.

How will CARM impact you?  

CARM applies to any business owner or organization that:

• Imports commercial goods as seldom as once a year
• Uses a Customs broker to import commercial goods
• Imports commercial goods through a courier
• Imports goods that will later be sold; and/or
• Imports goods for any commercial, industrial, occupational, institutional, or other like use

Are you Prepared?   

To prevent potential commercial shipment delays, your organization should: 

1. Register on the CARM Client Portal (CCP) before May 2024. 
2. Delegate authority to Schenker as your designated Customs Broker.

3. Obtain your Customs D-120 bond which will allow you to benefit from the Release Prior to Payment transition period: Canadian D120 Customs Bonds (ts.dbschenker.com)
