Customs officers warn of another ArriveCan-style fiasco with a Canada Border Services Agency plan to digitize $32 billion in yearly tariff collections. The computer system to be launched May 13 has been delayed until October.

“We have general concerns regarding the decision to implement it in the first place,” the Customs and Immigration Union wrote the Commons trade committee. “It seems to follow the same pattern established by previous projects, notably ArriveCan, where a rushed system is deployed as a solution to a non-existent problem.”

The Agency’s Assessment And Revenue Management System or CARM has been in planning since 2016. The project originally budgeted at $370 million has cost $526 million to date, by Agency estimate.
