Project Description

Statement of Account

Welcome to a World of Possibilities for Your Import-Export Business

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) uses an account-based model to track and reconcile importers’ duties, taxes, and payments. As an importer, it’s crucial that you have access to and full view of your own account balance.

We detail through this guide what the Statement of Account (SOA) is, and how we’ve made it easy for you to get your Importer SOA through our easy sign-up process and user-friendly dashboard.

Statement of Account

What is the Statement of Account (SOA)?

Your Statement of Account (SOA) is your balance with Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

There are two versions of the SOA: an Importer SOA and Broker SOA. If you work with a customs broker, you’ve probably been using their SOA to view your account balance, transactions, and applicable fees associated with imports into Canada.

Did You Know: According to the CBSA, less than 10% of businesses have access to their importer SOA.

FAQs on Statement of Account

Why do I need to sign up for my Importer SOA?

The Importer Statement of Account (SOA) provides an accurate overview of your account balance and better insights into your trade activities. You will need to answer questions based on information from your SOA while registering on the CARM Client Portal (CCP).

What will the SOA and DN provide?

With the introduction of CARM, the Daily Notice (DN) and Statement of Account (SOA) will replace importers daily and monthly K84 account statements. The DN will contain your transactional details, while the SOA will provide an overall summary of your duties and taxes.
