CBSA Issues New Surtax Order on Steel and Aluminum Goods – Effective July 31, 2025

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has announced a new surtax order targeting specific steel and aluminum goods originating from China, effective July 31, 2025

Key Highlights

  • 25% Surtax applies to:
  • Steel goods melted and poured in China
  • Aluminum goods smelted and cast in China
  • Importers must provide documentation (e.g., certificates, reports, or commercial invoices) proving origin outside China to avoid this additional surtax.
  • Goods are deemed to originate from China if documentation is not provided upon request.
  • This measure addresses global overcapacity and non-market practices, aligning with Canada’s trade response to U.S. tariffs under Section 232.
