Enrol for Release Prior to Payment
Who can enrol
Commercial importers can enrol for Release Prior to Payment (RPP) in the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) Client Portal.
The business account manager (BAM) or the program account manager (PAM) will be able to enrol the business in the RPP in the CARM Client Portal.
Who can benefit from RPP
In order to benefit from RPP, commercial importers must:
- register in the CARM Client Portal
- enrol for RPP in the CARM Client Portal, and
- post financial security that meets the security requirement calculated by CARM
Note: Since , importers who choose to enrol for RPP must either obtain a written security agreement from a financial security provider or post a financial security deposit themselves. Although customs brokers can apply credits into the account, they cannot post a security deposit on behalf of their importer clients, nor can importers use their customs broker's security.
