Need to Register or Modify an Import-Export Program Account?
If your business plans to import goods into Canada or export products abroad, you’ll need to register for an Import-Export Program Account (RM account) with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). This account is essential for clearing goods through customs and ensuring your business stays compliant with trade regulations.
The import/export account number is used by the Canada Border Services Agency to identify exporters and importers, and to process customs accounting documentation. To avoid delays in releasing your goods at the border, you should open your account before you import or export goods.
When to Register
You should register before your first shipment. If you’re already importing or exporting and need to update or modify your account details, it’s important to notify the CRA to avoid disruptions.
