Navigating the Digital Frontier: CBSA CARM and the Future of US-Canada Freight
As of early 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has fully transitioned to the Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) system as the mandatory portal for all commercial importations. This digital transformation has fundamentally changed how expedited freight moves across the US-Canada border.
For Windy Expedite, this shift represents an opportunity for increased efficiency. By utilizing the CARM tools, we have integrated our dispatch operations more closely with customs brokerage workflows. This ensures that all duties and taxes are accounted for before our trucks reach the port of entry, effectively eliminating administrative bottlenecks. In an industry where hours matter, the ability to navigate a fully digital customs environment allows our asset-based fleet to bypass traditional delays, ensuring that interstate shipments move with the agility that modern supply chains demand.
