Effective October 21, 2024, the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) system will become the official system for importers and other trade chain partners (TCPs) to account for their goods and pay applicable duties and taxes owed to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
There will be a cutover period from October 4th, 2024 (16:00 HRS) to October 21st, 2024 (03:00 HRS), to allow CBSA to migrate current systems and functionality to the CARM system.
Some existing CBSA legacy systems such as the Customs Commercial System (CCS) and the Customs Automated Data Exchange (CADEX), will be retired, at the initiation of the cutover period.
During the cutover period, release processing will not be impacted with the exception of a maintenance window, that will extend from the evening of October 5th, 2024 to the morning of October 6th, 2024.
Details on this maintenance outage will be communicated through the CBSA’s planned outage bulletin.
Importers are encouraged to submit release requests in advance of the anticipated maintenance window.
Concerns or questions should be directed to your Willson customer service representative.
