On March 26 the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced that importers need to register for a CARM Client Portal (CCP) account before April 26.
CBSA will be shutting down the portal as of April 26th to prepare for the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) rollout on May 13. Failure to register and delegate authority to your customs broker could result in delays and late accounting penalties.
Our team has been reaching out to clients, informing them of the importance to register before the deadline. If you would like assistance with registration and delegation, please reach out to your Mohawk Global Representative.
