The Tribunal’s inquiry is conducted pursuant to the <em>Special Import Measures Act</em> (SIMA) as a result of the initiation of dumping and subsidizing investigations by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).</p><p>On October 30, 2026, the Tribunal will determine whether there is a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping and subsidizing have caused injury or retardation, or are threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA. If so, the CBSA will continue its investigations and, by November 30, 2026, will make preliminary determinations. If these preliminary determinations indicate that there has been dumping or subsidizing, the CBSA will then continue its investigations and, concurrently, the Tribunal will initiate a final injury inquiry.</p><p>The Tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It hears cases on dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, complaints about federal government procurement and appeals of customs and excise tax rulings. When requested by the federal government, the Tribunal also provides advice on other economic, trade and tariff matters.</p><p>Any interested person, association or government that wishes to participate in the Tribunal’s inquiry may do so by filing a <a href="https://www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/en/forms/forms.html">Form I—Notice of Participation</a>.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-signature field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field--item"> <p class="field field--name-field-name field--type-string field--label-hidden no-margin-bottom field--item">Morgan Oda</p> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Acting Registrar</p><p>Telephone: 613-993-3595<br>Email: <a href="mailto:citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca" target="_blank">citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca</a></p></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-background field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item">/sites/default/files/2026-09/pexels-akshay-bineesh-105199960-10106726.jpg</div> <div class="field field--name-field-year field--type-list-integer field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Year</div> <div class="field--item">2026</div> </div> September 1, 2026
