Assistance for small or medium-sized enterprise facing unfair competition

Are you a small or medium-sized Canadian manufacturer or producer of goods? Are you facing competition from imported goods? Does the presence of imported goods in the Canadian market affect your prices, meaning does it lead to undercutting the price of your goods or force you to lower your prices?

Do you need help navigating the trade remedies system?

The advisory services team of the Special Import Measures Act offers assistance to businesses affected by unfairly traded imports (or to the associations and unions that represent them), as well as to importers of products subject to trade remedy duties.

Although the advisory service team does not prepare any complaints or submissions for businesses, it provides relevant information to help businesses understand and navigate Canada’s trade remedies system.

Contact the SIMA advisory services team for assistance by email to simaregistry-depotlmsi@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca.

Report duty evasion

The Special Import Measures Act, commonly referred to as SIMA, provides protection to Canadian producers who are being harmed by the dumping or subsidizing of goods imported into Canada.

The CBSA is committed to working with importers and any other stakeholder to ensure compliance with payment of anti-dumping and countervailing duties. If you have information or tips relating to suspected fraud or the non-payment of duties and would like to provide this to the CBSA, please submit the information using the Border Watch Line reporting tool.
