Notice of initiation of expiry review investigation: Photovoltaic modules and laminates (SML 2026 ER)
Ottawa,
On February 2nd, 2026, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), pursuant to subsection 76.03(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its order made on March 25, 2021, in inquiry RR-2020-001, concerning the dumping and subsidizing of certain photovoltaic modules and laminates originating in or exported from China.
As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated an expiry review investigation to determine, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, whether the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and subsidy of the subject goods. The CBSA will make a determination no later than July 2, 2026, and will issue a Statement of Reasons by July 17, 2026.
The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT’s finding are accessible on the CBSA’s Measures in force.
As part of its expiry review investigation, the CBSA forwarded questionnaires to Canadian producers, importers and exporters. Any Canadian producers, importers or exporters who have not received a letter from the CBSA and who wish to provide a response to the questionnaire are advised to contact the CBSA SIMA Registry and Disclosure Unit at the email below.
