If I already have a General Agency Agreement (GAA)/Power of Attorney (POA) on file with my customs broker(s), is it still necessary for me to approve a delegation of authority request?
The delegation of authority is an additional requirement and does not replace the current requirement for a GAA/POA. It enables your customs broker to access your CARM Client Portal business account and to manage your commercial importation activities, including, but is not limited to, the accounting of any applicable duties and taxes with the Canada Border Services Agency.Â
The GAA/POA, on the other hand, specifically authorizes your customs broker to act on your behalf for your customs/clearance activities.
