Canadian Tribunal Recommends Removal of Steel Safeguards
Written by Sandy Williams
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal recommended on Wednesday that five of seven provisional steel safeguards, imposed by the government following the imposition of Section 232 tariffs by the U.S., be removed.
A CITT inquiry concerning the importation into Canada of heavy plate, concrete reinforcing bar, energy tubular products, hot-rolled sheet, pre-painted steel, stainless steel wire, and wire rod, found that only imports of heavy plate and stainless steel wire warranted continuation of safeguard measures.
