Expiry reviews are conducted jointly by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) to determine whether a Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) measure should expire after five years or remain in force for an additional five years. These reviews must be initiated before the measure’s scheduled expiry date.
On June 2, 2026, the CITT, in conjunction with the (CBSA), concluded an expiry review of the concrete reinforcing bar 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 importations, 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.
