Please be advised that the tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) for steel goods administered under the Amended Surtax Order will transition to the first quarter of year 2 on June 28, 2026.

 

As set out in the Notice to importers: Item 82 – Steel goods – Serial No. 1163, shipment specific import permit applications may be submitted up to 15 days in advance of the expected date of entry.

Accordingly, the first permit applications covering goods with an expected date of entry of June 28, 2026, may be submitted beginning June 13, 2026, at 00:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

 

The third Order Amending the Order Imposing a Surtax on the Importation of Certain Steel Goods (P.C. 2026-593), which takes effect on June 28, 2026, will adjust the volumes of the TRQs for the Hot-Rolled Sheet, Cold-Rolled Sheet, Hot-Rolled Bar, Structural Steel and Stainless Steel Billets and Blooms product classes originating from non-FTA partners and for the Hot-Rolled Sheet, Steel Plate and Cold-Rolled Sheet product classes from non-CUSMA FTA partners, as listed in table 1 and table 2 of section 3.3 of the Notice to importers No. 1163.

The amended measures will also reassign certain tariff classification numbers from the Hot-Rolled Sheet to the Cold-Rolled Sheet product class with corresponding volume adjustments.

 

Importers are encouraged to review the new Notice to importers No. 1163 to ensure that permit applications are submitted in accordance with the applicable procedures and requirements.

 

Questions or concerns should be directed to our Canadian regulatory group.
