Why have I not needed this before?

Prior to CARM Release 2, importers are able to utilize their Customs Brokers import bond. After Release 2 importers will no longer be able to use this option. However, the new Financial Security Deadline has been extended to May 30, 2025.

What is a D120 Customs Bond?

This a D120 Customs Bond will allow importers to enjoy Release Prior To Payment (RPP) privileges at the port of crossing, meaning that their goods will be released into Canada prior to paying the duties and taxes (which will instead be paid after importation).

When is CARM Release 2?

CBSA launched Release 2 in October 2024. In order to be prepared for this transition, we encouraged you to start the process of obtaining your D120 Customs Bond as soon as possible. We can help you obtain one by filling the form out above.
