Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has implemented new rules under the CARM (CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management) program. In order for your commercial shipments to be released without delays, you must be enrolled in the RPP (Release Prior to Payment) program via the CARM Client Portal.

 

What happens if you don’t enroll?


 Your shipments will be held at the border until duties and taxes are paid in advance—causing costly and unnecessary delays.

 

**Please note this is for commercial importers only. Personal/Casual importers are exempt from this step.
