Summary
This memorandum outlines and explains the authorization, reporting and transportation procedures of the Customs Self Assessment (CSA) program. Under the CSA program, an authorized carrier may report eligible goods to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) using a CSA clearance process and, before release, deliver those goods in Canada directly to the place of business of an authorized importer, the owner of the goods, or a consignee of the importer.
