Duty liability (anti-dumping duties)

Country of origin or export: China

Effective on imports of subject goods released by the CBSA on or after 2010-07-16:

No exporters in China received normal values in the most recent re-investigation CBSA notice of conclusion of re-investigation.

For importations of subject goods produced or exported from China for which the exporter has not been issued normal values, the anti-dumping duty is equal to 80.2% of the export price.

Disclosure of normal values and amounts of subsidy

The liability for anti-dumping duty results from the proceedings conducted under SIMA and from the finding of the CITT. Information regarding the normal value of the subject goods in question and the amount of anti-dumping duty payable should be obtained from the exporter. Related information may be made available to importers on a need-to-know basis in accordance with the provisions of Memorandum D14-1-2: Disclosure of Normal Values, Export Prices, and Amounts of Subsidy Established Under the Special Import Measures Act.

General information for CBSA assessment and revenue management (CARM)

CARM is the official system of record for the assessment and collection of duties and taxes on imported commercial goods. In most circumstances, the CARM system will automatically calculate the amount of SIMA duties payable based on information provided; however, it is still your responsibility to verify that the amounts assessed are correct and, if necessary, self-declare correct amounts. For additional information relating to CARM and self-assessing SIMA duties, please refer to the Guide for self-assessing Special Import Measures Act duties and applicable D-Memorandums.

Requests for re-determination information for CARM

Requests for re-determination relating to SIMA duties must be filed by the importer or the importer’s agent via the CARM Client Portal (CCP), through the Statements of adjustment and appeals. Failure to submit correctly may result in rejection and/or delayed processing.

Summary decisions made by the CBSA respecting whether an imported good is subject to this measure in force can be found on President-level re-determinations.
