CBSA stops accepting exporter BN15 accounts for release and accounting under CARM
CARM Reminder: Improper Use of Exporter BN15 to Obtain Release and Account for Imported Goods
CBSA states in Customs Notice 24-37 that, effective October 21, 2024, its commercial processing systems will not accept exporter "RM" program accounts to obtain release of imported goods, and the CARM system will not accept a Commercial Accounting Declaration quoting an exporter BN15. Only BN15s set up with an importer or importer/exporter "RM" account profile can obtain release and account for goods.
Importers, exporters and customs brokers must use an importer or importer/exporter "RM" account, not an exporter BN15, to obtain release and file the CAD for commercial importations on or after October 21, 2024.
