CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management Initiative (CARM)

We are aware of the significant investment that Release 2 represents for industry, as well as the impact that COVID-19 has had on many businesses. With the goal of shared success, and in consideration of other Release 2 pressures, the CBSA is carefully reviewing the appropriate timing for Release 2 implementation.

At this time, we can share that we do not intend to proceed with the implementation of CARM Release 2 any time before January 2023. The CBSA will continue to consult with our trade chain partners, and communicate information via our working groups and the CARM website.

In the meantime, the CBSA is exploring opportunities to de-risk and facilitate the adoption of CARM at Release 2, which may include a CARM Experience Simulation (CES) / pilot with volunteers from our trade chain partner community in a non-production environment. More information will be shared on this as it becomes available.

Thank you for your continued engagement and support for CARM.

Sincerely,

CBSA - CARM Stakeholder Engagement Team
