July 7 - ARL Webinar on Refunds and Off-setting

June 28, 2016

On January 25, 2016, the CBSA introduced ARL, a fully integrated and centralized accounting system that allows for off-setting of account credits against debits, and offers Trade Chain Partners (TCPs)  more comprehensive accounting statements and new electronic payment options. In order to provide TCPs with additional time to adapt to the implementation of the ARL, the CBSA temporarily deferred the introduction of off-setting for all account credits and debits, and continued to issue payment cheques.  The purpose of this notice is to inform TCPs that, effective August 2, 2016, the process of account off-setting will be in effect for all importers. As of this date, the CBSA will no longer issue refund payments to the importer or care of the agent requesting the refund.

CSCB will be hosting the same webinar on July 6th. Please refer to the CSCB website for further details.

CBSA is hosting a webinar in English at 1:15-2:45 on July 7th: CBSA ARL English Webinar - Refunds and Offsetting - Presentation to Brokers, Importers and Consultants.
