Canada enhances trade remedy system by amending Special Import Measures Regulations

The Government of Canada published SOR/2019-314 on September 4, Regulations amending the Special Import Measures Regulations in Part II of the Canada Gazette. The Government of Canada has amended the Special Import Measures Regulations (SIMR) to provide the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) with additional methods for calculating appropriate dumping margins in its anti-dumping investigations. The amendments are expected to afford the CBSA with more flexibility in determining production costs in transactions between associated parties and in particular market situations.

A Tax Alert prepared by Ernst & Young Canada, and attached below, provides additional details.
