The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has completed its annual review of importer financial security requirements. If your importer’s required Customs bond has increased, you must update it by January 15, 2026 to maintain Release Prior to Payment (RPP) privileges.

Key Points:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  New bond requirements were posted in the CARM Client Portal on October 20, 2025.
Only importers with increased requirements will receive a notification.
Failure to update by the deadline may result in suspension of RPP privileges.
