CARM Customs Portal

What is CARM?

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) project is a multi-year initiative that will transform the collection of duties and taxes for goods imported into Canada. Through CARM, the CBSA will modernize and streamline the process of importing commercial goods.

Once fully implemented, CARM will:

- simplify the overall importing process
- provide a modern interface for importing into Canada
- give importers self-service access to their information
- reduce the cost of importing into Canada

CARM is a huge change for Canada's supply chain industry. If you import commercially, it is critical that you get to know CARM today.
