Release 2 of the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) project will bring about many important changes for your organization.
The CBSA is hosting CARM webinars for various public sector client groups to help you understand the upcoming changes with CARM and how to prepare. These sessions will include a presentation on these changes, as well as a live question and answer period.
If you are a public sector organization, we encourage you to register to ensure that your organization is prepared for CARM Release 2 in October 2023.
Your organization should attend the webinar even if you use the ARGO Customs Broker or Trade Services Advisor. Your relationship with us will not change, but there is organization-specific information and processes that organizations need to be aware of.
The following table lists the upcoming sessions. We encourage all public sector organizations to attend these sessions and engage with CARM.

About the CARM Project
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) project is a multi-year, multi-million dollar initiative to modernize and enhance the agency’s capacity to manage its revenues. The project aims to improve the CBSA’s ability to collect, assess, and manage duties and taxes while also providing a better client experience.
The CARM project includes a number of components, including:
- A new, modernized system for managing revenue collections;
- Improved data collection and analytics capabilities;
- Improved information sharing between the CBSA and other federal departments;
- Enhanced reporting capabilities; and
- Improved training and support for CBSA staff.
The CARM project is expected to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the CBSA’s revenue collections as well as provide enhanced visibility into the status of collections and payments. In addition, the project will help the CBSA ensure compliance with international trade agreements as well as identify and address any potential revenue leakage.
The project will be implemented in phases. The first phase includes the development of the new system, data collection and analytics capabilities, and improved information sharing. The second phase will focus on improved reporting capabilities, enhanced training and support for CBSA staff, and improved analysis of revenue collections.
The CARM project is a significant step forward in the CBSA’s efforts to modernize its systems and optimize its revenue collection processes. The project is expected to improve the CBSA’s ability to manage its revenues, while also providing a better client experience.
