CARM Registration Service
In October 2024, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) released the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) system. Once this system went live, business entities began to manage the entire financial element of their imports, including taxes, post-entry corrections, and financial securities through the portal.
Apex Customs Brokers works with businesses to understand the requirements and complete the setup process, empowering you to manage your CARM Client Portal.
Our Comprehensive CARM Registration Service
Apex handles every step of your CARM setup, including registration, RPP privileges, financial security, and BAM access. We make compliance seamless so your goods keep flowing without interruption.
$250 + GST
CARM Business registration
Apex completes your full CARM Client Portal business registration, ensuring your legal entity is properly linked to CBSA’s system. We handle the setup, verification, and broker delegation so your account is configured correctly from day one.
Release prior to payment (RPP) privliges
Under CARM, importers enroll in Release Prior to Payment (RPP) privileges to avoid shipment delays. Apex enrolls your business in RPP, ensures you meet all financial security requirements, and confirms your RPP status is fully active so your goods continue to move without interruption.
Posting Financial Security (Customs Bond)
If your business requires financial security to maintain RPP, Apex arranges the appropriate customs bond** on your behalf. We calculate the required amount, coordinate with our surety provider, and ensure your security is properly posted with CBSA.
**Customs Bond requires additional fee separate from portal set-up
Business Account Manager (BAM) Access
Apex assigns and configures your Business Account Manager roles within the CARM portal. We ensure the right individuals in your organization have administrative access, can manage users, and make duty and tax payments through the portal.
