Government of Canada Introduces Framework for Tariff Remission Requests

The Government of Canada has introduced a framework and process for how remission requests for tariffs on products from the United States (US) and China will be considered.  

Within the framework, the government may grant relief on imported goods that cannot be sourced either domestically, or reasonably from non-US sources (“short supply”). 

 

Products Subject to Short Supply Claims – Consultations 

The Department of Finance Canada has launched a web-based consultation process for consultations with domestic producers, to assess availability of domestic supply.  

The requests for remission under “short supply” are subject to these consultations to confirm the conditions of domestic supply. 

 

Key Information for Canadian Producers 

Canadian producers are recommended to review and provide information on their ability to manufacture the products listed here.   

• Where a domestic source of supply is identified, requestors will be directed to follow up with the relevant domestic supplier. 

Comments can be submitted through this form until July 15, 2025. Additional supporting materials can be sent to [email protected].
