What is the current procedure for obtaining financial security?
The current process is detailed in the CBSA Memorandum D17-5-2. Commercial importers have the option of either working with a security provider to obtain a written security agreement (e.g., surety bond) or making a cash deposit directly to the CBSA through the CARM Client Portal (CCP). A list of accepted security is provided in Appendix A of CBSA Memorandum D17-5-2.
