The CSA (Customs Self Assessment) program is designed for low-risk, pre-approved importers, carriers, and registered drivers. To benefit from the program, CSA-approved importers and carriers must use a registered driver to transport CSA-eligible goods into Canada via highway.
The CSA program streamlines many border requirements, enabling faster and more efficient processing of low-risk shipments, which helps businesses save time and money.
Additionally, it allows the CBSA to allocate its resources more effectively, focusing on identifying high-risk shipments that may threaten the health, safety, or economic well-being of Canadians.
