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Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) to determine if a SIMA measure will be rescinded after 5 years in force or will be continued for another 5 years.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.
On March 11, 2026, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), in conjunction with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), concluded an expiry review of the Fasteners SIMA case currently in force. As a result of the investigation, CITT is continuing its finding, and importers will continue to pay anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports of goods subject to this case.
Importers are reminded that, if using the services of a customs broker to clear their imports, the brokerage firm should be advised whether or not the goods are subject to anti-dumping and countervailing duties and be provided with sufficient information necessary to accurately assess SIMA if applicable.
