Customs administration

Clear processes, predictable decisions and workable administration at the Canadian border.

Our objective

Improve the practical administration of lawful importing, from account access to corrections and review.

What better policy looks like

  • Accessible guidance on CARM account management and customs accounting.
  • Consistent explanations of classification, valuation and origin requirements.
  • Clear routes for corrections, questions and review of customs decisions.

The evidence that matters

Describe your business’s role in the process, the relevant stage and whether the matter was resolved. Do not send account numbers, customs records or details of a live dispute.

Scope and context

CAC’s policy work concerns administration and business experience. Transaction-specific customs decisions belong with the relevant authority and qualified advisers.
