Penilaian Kesiapan CARM

1

CRA Business Number

Does your organization have a 9-digit CRA Business Number (BN9)?

2

Do you have an RM program account number? This, combined with your BN9, forms your BN15 (e.g., 123456789RM0001).

3

Do you have GCKey or Sign-In Partner (bank login) credentials for Government of Canada portals?

4

Has your business registered on the CARM Client Portal (CCP)?

5

Have you posted your own financial security for Release Prior to Payment (RPP)?

Since May 2025, importers can no longer rely on their broker's security. You need your own.

6

If you use a customs broker, have you set up both required layers of authorization?

CARM requires a signed written agency agreement plus digital delegation configured in the portal.

7

Have you assigned a backup BAM to your CARM account? If your primary BAM is unavailable, no one can manage your customs account.
