Get a CBSA-issued carrier code

To do business with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), carriers and freight forwarders need a 4-character unique identifier code (carrier code). The CBSA issues unique carrier codes that allow us to identify carriers and freight forwarders.

Find out how to enrol for a new carrier code through the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) Client Portal (the portal). Learn how to confirm or update the information associated with an existing code.
