Commercial Carrier and Freight Forwarder Identification and Eligibility
Changing your bonded status

Carriers already in possession of an active Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) carrier code may now change their carrier code’s bonded status without having to apply for a new carrier code.

To apply to change your existing carrier code’s bonded status with the CBSA:

  1. If you have not already done so, register for an account in the CBSA assessment and revenue management (CARM) client portal (CCP).
  2. Make applicable updates in the CCP.

    For non-bonded to bonded: If you are requesting to change your non-bonded carrier code to a bonded carrier code, you must submit your financial security information to the CCP.

    For bonded to non-bonded: If you are requesting to change your bonded carrier code to a non-bonded carrier code, you must cancel your bond with your surety provider and update the CCP.
