About this Webinar

The CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) system is now the official platform for managing the collection of duties and taxes on imported goods. As the system of record for importers, customs brokers, and other trade chain partners, CARM has changed how businesses interact with CBSA, streamlining duty and tax payments, financial security management, and import declarations.

CARM Release 3 requires all importers to secure their own Release Prior to Payment (RPP) bond to continue benefiting from the RPP program. The transition period ends May 20, 2025. Without a bond in place, your shipments may face costly border delays.

Unsure of the requirements? Join this webinar to gain clarity on:

  • CBSA’s Release Prior to Payment (RPP) program under CARM.
  • How to calculate the financial security needed for your shipments.
  • Financial security monitoring, what it is, and how it impacts you.
  • CBSA’s transition plan for the RPP program.
  • The process of obtaining a CARM bond.

Who Should Attend?

Canadian resident and non-resident importers.
