The Steel Derivative Goods Surtax Remission Order entered into force on February 24, 2026 and published in the March 11, 2026, edition of Part II of the Canada Gazette.
The Order provides remission for:
• wind towers for which a supply order was signed before the surtax came into force on December 26, 2025;
• wind towers imported into Canada for installation in offshore wind projects;
• goods imported by or on behalf of listed Canadian public or private entities in the public health, health care, public safety, and national security sectors; and
• 43 specific products listed in Schedule 1, where remission is required to focus surtaxes on imported steel products which are also produced domestically or which were previously determined to be in short supply. (Goods must meet the conditions set out in column 2 related to HS classification number provided on column 1).
The Remission Order provides relief from the payment of surtaxes at the time of importation, or the refund of surtaxes already paid, under specific circumstances.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will be administering the claims for remission of surtaxes pursuant to the Remission Order. Further information on how to claim relief will be provided in a CBSA customs notice.
