Global Affairs Canada (“GAC”) has announced it is now accepting applications for the 2025-year tariff rate quotas (the “TRQs”) for most dairy products (including cheese and ice cream), and poultry (including eggs). Applications opened October 1, 2024, and the deadline to apply is November 15, 2024.
What is a TRQ?
On October 1, 2024, the Canadian government released the final list of which goods will be subject to the 25% surtax on steel and aluminium products coming from the People’s Republic of China effective October 22, 2024 (the “Final List”).
The Final List is rather broad, and includes many items of iron, steel, or aluminum that could be used by manufacturers across various industries, including ingots, flat-rolled coils, bars and rods, extrusion shapes and sections, tubes pipes and hollow profiles, etc.
The Competition Bureau (the “Bureau”) is asking for public feedback on how the recent Competition Act'greenwashing' amendments should be enforced.
The amendments, which came into effect June 24, 2024, add two new types of “reviewable conduct” covering representations made about products and/or business activities being beneficial for the environment. Non-compliant businesses can face potentially serious penalties!
