CARM 106: CARM Release 2 - Are You Ready?

CARM and Its Release Phases 

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) continues to accelerate its evolution and modernization through its CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) project; completely transforming the agency’s import playbook from trade compliance to risk and information management.   

In October 2024, CARM Release 2 will expand the functionalities of the CARM Client Portal, releasing electronic commercial accounting declarations, new offsetting options, electronic management of appeals and compliance actions and harmonized billing cycles.    

Through CARM, accounting and revenue management processes with CBSA will be facilitated for all importers to Canada.
