CARM Delay – CBSA Announces New Timeline for CARM Release 2

CARM Delay - CBSA Announces New Timeline for CARM Release 2 - Route Newsletter: April 2024

On Friday, April 19th, the CBSA announced changes to its plans for the launch of the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) digital initiative. CARM will launch internally at the CBSA on May 13th, as planned.

However, it is now the intention of the CBSA to reschedule the launch for trade chain partners (including importers and customs brokers) to October 2024, until which time trade chain partners will continue to operate as they have.

Over the past several weeks, months and years Universal Logistics has endeavoured to keep our clients well informed of the changes and impacts on business that come with the CARM initiative. We’d like to thank those clients who have already registered in the CARM portal and have “delegated authority” to Universal Logistics. We strongly encourage those clients who have not yet done so, to take advantage of our Client Care Team to help simplify the registration process.

Visit Universal Logistics’ website to learn more about CARM and to watch videos to help walk you through the CARM registration process.

We are ready to assist you with this registration process and happy to answer any questions you may have. Simply contact your Client Care representative or Mark Glionna, Vice President—Client Relations & Business Development.

Quick Tip #46
Issue Express Bills of Lading instead of Originals and avoid delays and unnecessary costs

Original Bills of Lading are a good way to ensure immediate payment of your merchandise on shipments where you do not have an established credit arrangement with your client.
