In August 2025, the CITT in conjunction with CBSA initiated an expiry review investigation of the Hot-rolled carbon steel plate 6 (PLA6) SIMA case, involving certain hot rolled carbon steel plate originating in or exported from Ukraine.
Expiry reviews are conducted jointly by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) to determine if a SIMA measure will be rescinded after 5 years in force or will be continued for another 5 years. These reviews must be initiated before the scheduled expiry date of the measure.
As a result of the investigation, on September 18, 2025, the CITT terminated the above-mentioned case. As such, Sima duties will no longer be payable on subject goods that are released on or after September 18, 2025.
