Effective July 1, 2018, certain goods imported from the United States are subject to new surtaxes. The surtaxes apply to certain goods originating in the United States. In particular, the goods must be eligible for marking as goods of the United States in accordance with the Determination of Country of Origin for the Purposes of Marking Goods (NAFTA Countries) Regulations. The surtaxes will be levied pursuant to United States Surtax Order (Steel and Aluminum) and the United States Surtax Order (Other Goods).
The onus is on importers to prove that goods imported into Canada should not be subject to the United States Surtax Order (Steel and Aluminum) and the United States Surtax Order (Other Goods).
