Canada initiates consultations on potential surtaxes in response to Chinese trade practices

Canada is launching a 30-day consultation, from September 10, 2024, to October 10, 2024, on potential surtaxes in response to unfair Chinese trade practices.

Specifically, the Government of Canada is seeking views on the potential application of a surtax on critical mineral products, batteries and parts, solar products, and semiconductors, as well as the timing of the coming into force of any potential measures. These measures would build upon those announced at the end of August.

Potential surtaxes would be applied under the authority of section 53 of the Customs Tariff, which provides for the application of trade measures (including surtaxes) to respond to acts, policies, or practices of other countries that adversely affect Canada's trade interests.

Submissions for this consultation will be open from September 10, 2024, to October 10, 2024.
