On April 15, 2019, the Department of Finance revised Schedule 3 of the United States Surtax Remission Order 2018-1272.
The Canadian Government implemented the Surtax in response to the United States tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum products. The amendments to Schedule 3 increase the number of importers eligible for remission of the U.S Surtax as well as the expansion of the grades and measurements on certain items. The amendment also extends the period of remission of countermeasures for products previously covered under Schedule 3 from April 30, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
The latest changes to Schedule 3 entered into force on April 15, 2019 and consist in particular of:
- amendments to items 5 to 12, 13, 15, 20 to 30, 32 to 68, 71, 78 to 89, 93 to 107, 109 to 120, 123, 124, 127, 128, 130 to 142, 144 to 200, 209 to 219; and
- the addition of items 220 to 314.
