Direct Payment Options to CBSA

Accounts Receivable Ledger (ARL) 

ARL is the official records and accounting system of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). It simplifies the collection of duties and taxes by reconciling all shipment transactions under a single account, providing one electronic statement per month, and enabling multiple online payment options direct to the CBSA through your financial institution*.

*Contact your financial banking institution to find out if they are ARL compatible.

How it works
 
Importers have two direct payment options available:

• GST Direct Payment Option*
  The GST Direct Payment Option, or G option, enables the importer to pay the GST owing on all shipments during a billing period directly to the CBSA, via online banking. J.B. Ellis will still pay any duties owing on your behalf which will appear on your monthly J.B. Ellis statement.
  *This option is only available to Canadian resident importers.

• Importer Direct Security Option*
  The Importer Direct Security Option, or I option, requires that the importer post security with the CBSA, but it enables the importer to pay all duties and taxes owing on shipments during a billing period directly to the CBSA via online banking.
  *This option is available to both resident and non-resident importers.
