The Canada Border Services Agency is in the midst of a multi-year project to transform the collection of duties and taxes on imported goods, called the Assessment and Revenue Management project (known as CARM). In 2023, when Release 2 comes into effect, importers will need to have annual surety bonds in place, among other things.
What changes can Canadian importers expect? Why are they happening? And how should they prepare? This timely and informative conversation will set the table.
