Effective December 26, 2025, certain steel derivative goods imported into Canada are subject to a surtax in the amount of 25% of the value for duty in accordance with the Steel Derivative Goods Surtax Order.
The Government has implemented the Steel Derivative Goods Surtax Remission Order (the “Remission Order”), which entered into force on February 24, 2026. The full text of the Remission Order will be 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.
To benefit from remission, goods being imported must be aligned with and match the descriptions provided in column 2 and classified under a tariff classification set out in column 1.
