Duty liability (Provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duties)

Country of origin or export: China

Provisional duty is payable on subject goods that are released from the CBSA during the period commencing September 2, 2026, and ending on the earlier of the day the dumping and/or subsidy investigation is terminated, the day on which the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) makes an order or finding, or the day an undertaking is accepted.

For information regarding the rates of provisional duty, please consult the CBSA’s Notice of preliminary determinations.

The following table identifies the exporters that currently has specific rates of provisional duty:

For importations of subject goods for which the exporter has not been issued specific rates, the provisional duties are equal to 13.1% of the export price.

Disclosure of normal values and amounts of subsidy

The liability for anti-dumping and countervailing duties results from the proceedings conducted under SIMA from the finding of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT). Information regarding the normal value and amount of subsidy of the subject goods in question and the amount of anti-dumping and countervailing duties payable should be obtained from the exporter. Related information may be made available to importers on a need-to-know basis in accordance with the provisions of Memorandum D14-1-2: Disclosure of Normal Values, Export Prices, and Amounts of Subsidy Established Under the Special Import Measures Act to importers.

General information for CBSA assessment and revenue management (CARM)

CARM is the official system of record for the assessment and collection of duties and taxes on imported commercial goods. In most circumstances, the CARM system will automatically calculate the amount of SIMA duties payable based on information provided; however, it is still your responsibility to verify that the amounts assessed are correct and, if necessary, self-declare correct amounts. For additional information relating to CARM and self-assessing SIMA duties, please refer to the Guide for self-assessing Special Import Measures Act duties and applicable D-Memorandums.

Requests for re-determination information for CARM
