Avalon can help you meet the CARM bond requirements. 

CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) is a multi-year initiative by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to modernize, streamline, and transform the process of importing goods to Canada. 

Part of the initiative requires importers to provide financial security in order to participate in Release Prior to Payment Program (RPP). Obtaining a Customs Bond satisfies this requirement. CBSA launched the CARM Client Portal, a self-service tool that will facilitate accounting and revenue management processes with the CBSA.

The CARM Client Portal is available to importers and brokers, as well as trade consultants who currently submit rulings on behalf of importers. Importers can create their portal account and delegate authority to their broker so that the broker can conduct business with the CBSA on an importer's behalf.

The CBSA has multiple resources on their website to assist importers and brokers such as FAQs, video tutorials, onboarding webinars, the latest information on CARM updates and more.

Merlin, our proprietary technology, has been developed to streamline the bond process.  Merlin will save you time and money.
