Don’t expect to receive a cheque from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for a refund or drawback of duty/GST.
Those transactions will now be handled with monthly offsets to importer account statements, just one of many ways the CBSA is changing how it does business with the commercial trade community for the better. The improvements are possible because the CBSA is replacing aging revenue and cash systems with a more modern Accounts Receivable Ledger (ARL) process that will improve service delivery by allowing more electronic interaction.
