Importers will register their Canadian business number in the CARM Portal*.

  • The first person to register the business in CARM is the account owner. 
  • Importers will assign a Business Account Manager as the person who will have Full Access to the account. 
  • Additionally, one or more Program Account Managers can be assigned to provide access rights for staff and to assist in the management of the CARM Account. 
  • Importers will delegate Geodis as their Customs Broker & make visible their account details to ensure Geodis is able to support. 
  • Management by Geodis will vary based on your business requirements.

 

Each business number can be managed separately.
