Expiry review of heavy plate SIMA case

On January 5, 2026, the Government of Canada commenced an expiry review of the Heavy Plate Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) case currently in force.

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Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) to determine if a SIMA measure will be rescinded after 5 years in force or will be continued for another 5 years.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.

The expiry review schedule for both the CBSA and CITT are available in the CITT expiry review details below
