The liability for anti-dumping duties results from the proceedings conducted under SIMA from the finding of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT). Information regarding the normal values of the subject goods in question and the amount of anti-dumping 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

Requests for re-determination relating to SIMA duties must be filed by the importer or the importer’s agent via the CARM Client Portal (CCP), through the Statements of adjustment and appeals. Failure to submit correctly may result in rejection and/or delayed processing.
