Statistics Canada's primary data source used in the compilation of import statistics is undergoing a major transition as a result of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) digital initiative. Delays in the receipt of import data at Statistics Canada are currently being experienced and other issues impacting quality are also expected throughout this transition period.

Beginning with the reference month of October 2024, users of these statistics should exercise caution and expect material revisions until the situation stabilizes.
