5. Surety company
If you are a surety company, here's how you can prepare for CARM Release 1 and 2:
- Stay tuned for communications from the CARM project team on how to prepare for CARM between Release 1 and Release 2
- Prior to Release 2:
- continue to provide importers with RPP bonds, as per the current practice
- ensure that the effective date of the bond is no later than CARM Release 2 go-live date
- At Release 2, the CBSA will receive bonds via an Application Programing Interface (API)
- Get familiar with publicly available Application Program Interfaces (APIs) that allow the trade community to transact with the CBSA
- Set up your API solution with the CBSA prior to Release 2 in order to send bond information to the CBSA
- Set up your Portal user account by acquiring a GCKey or using a Sign-In Partner and linking to your business account
- Register with the CBSA and acquire a program identifier (RM) number through the Portal to be designated issuer of electronic bonds
