Life of a Shipment

The Life of a Shipment Road Map provides a look at the complete life of a typical shipment being imported and how it will look in CARM R2.

Current guidance from the CBSA indicates that various CARM transition processes will be in place until October 20, 2025. Please note that this road map reflects “end state” processes after the transition period has concluded.

As such, this road map may not reflect interim direction provided by the CBSA between October 21, 2024, and October 20, 2025. Please continue to consult the CSCB Trade News for up-to-date guidance on transition measures and processes.
