Commercial importers can enrol in the Release Prior to Payment (RPP) sub-program through the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) Client Portal.
The Business Account Manager (BAM) or Program Account Manager (PAM) can enrol the business in RPP through the CARM Client Portal.
Who Can Benefit from RPP
To benefit from RPP, commercial importers must:
- Register in the CARM Client Portal
- Enrol in RPP through the CARM Client Portal
- Post financial security that meets the security requirement calculated by CARM
Note: Since October 21, 2024, importers who choose to enrol in RPP must either obtain a written security agreement from a financial security provider or post the financial security deposit themselves. Although customs brokers can apply credits to an importer’s account, they cannot post a security deposit on behalf of their importer clients, and importers cannot use their customs broker’s security.
