International trade rules allow Canada to temporarily restrict imports to allow Canadian producers to adapt. These temporary measures are called safeguards.
On March 16, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated an inquiry on the importation of certain vegetable goods. Please refer to the Schedule of the Order Referring the Matter of the Importation of Certain Vegetable Goods to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal for a complete listing of products subject to this inquiry.
The purpose of the inquiry is to determine whether the subject goods are being imported into Canada in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause serious injury or threat thereof to Canadian producers of like or directly competitive goods
Any person, government or counsel representing a party wishing to make submissions to the CITT must do so no later than April 2, 2026. Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information should be addressed to the Registry of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, at [email protected]. The Registry can also be reached by telephone at 613-993-3595.
