Tribunal Initiates Inquiry-Steel Strapping from China, Trkiye, South Korea, and Vietnam
On July 10, 2025, the Tribunal will determine whether there is a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping and subsidizing have caused injury or retardation, or are threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA. If so, the CBSA will continue its investigations and, by August 8, 2025, will make preliminary determinations. If these preliminary determinations indicate that there has been dumping or subsidizing, the CBSA will then continue its investigations and, concurrently, the Tribunal will initiate a final injury inquiry.
The Tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It hears cases on dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, complaints about federal government procurement and appeals of customs and excise tax rulings. When requested by the federal government, the Tribunal also provides advice on other economic, trade and tariff matters.
Any interested person, association or government that wishes to participate in the Tribunal's inquiry may do so by filing a Form I - Notice of Participation.

Ahuja is no longer suitable to be licensed unconditionally under the Insurance Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.I.8, as amended (the "Act") and its regulations, because he provided false information with respect to the applications for the licences and he is not of good character and reputation or otherwise suitable to receive a licence.

The CBSA launches an investigation into the alleged dumping of oil country tubular goods from Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, Türkiye and the United States of America Français
OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 11, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced today the initiation of an investigation into whether certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) are being sold in the Canadian market at unfair prices. The investigation focuses on imports from a small number of large steel producers operating in or exporting from Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, Türkiye, and the United States. These practices, if confirmed, may distort fair competition and impact Canadian producers. The CBSA's investigation follows a complaint filed by two Canadian producers: EVRAZ Inc. NA Canada and Welded Tube of Canada Corporation. Under the Special Import Measures Act, the CBSA is required to initiate an investigation when a complaint meets the legislative requirements, including sufficient evidence of dumping and resulting injury. In this case, the complainants allege that certain imports—some supplied by multinational firms, including those with operations in Canada—are being dumped in the Canadian market, causing material injury. They cite impacts such as lost market share, price undercutting, reduced profitability, and job losses within the domestic industry. The CBSA and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) both play a role in the investigation. The CITT will begin a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the imports are harming Canadian producers and will issue a decision by October 10, 2025. Concurrently, the CBSA will investigate whether the imports are being sold in Canada at unfair prices, and will make a preliminary decision by November 10, 2025. Currently, there are 158 special import measures in force in Canada, covering a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. In 2024, these measures have directly helped to protect approximately 45,000 Canadian jobs and $18.4 billion in Canadian production. Quick facts OCTG is comprised of oil and gas well casing, used to prevent the walls of bored holes from collapsing and tubing used to convey liquids and gas to the surface. For more product information, please refer to the CBSA's Anti-dumping and countervailing webpage. In accordance with the product definition provided in the complaint, the subject goods under investigation are classified as OCTG: originating in or exported from Mexico and the Philippines originating in Türkiye and exported or produced by, or on behalf of, Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. originating in South Korea and exported or produced by, or on behalf of, Hyundai Steel Company Hyundai Steel originating in the United States of America and exported or produced by, or on behalf of, Tenaris S.A. The Canadian market size for OCTG is estimated to be over $1.81 billion annually. A statement of reasons, with additional details about the investigation, will be available on the CBSA's website within 15 days from the date the investigations are launched. Canada's trade remedy system is designed to ensure that imported goods are priced fairly relative to domestic products. To counteract unfair trade practices, the CBSA has the authority under the Special Import Measures Act to initiate investigations if a complaint is properly documented and impose trade remedy measures when there is evidence that dumping or subsidizing is causing or threatens to cause injury to Canadian producers.

Ont. man caught up in tariff war while trying to ship dream car
An Ontario man said ongoing tariff troubles are keeping him from bringing his dream car home. CTV's Karis Mapp reports. An error has occurred during playback. Please try again later. [1000/0] For as long as Cam Gillespie can remember, he's always been a fan of Ford cars, with Shelby Mustangs holding a special place in his heart. 'They only produced about 135 convertibles back in 1970 and Caroll Shelby was a race car driver back in the 50's,' explained the 65-year-old retiree. So when his dream car, a 1969 Shelby Mustang, became available for purchase from an Iowa dealership, Gillespie jumped at the opportunity. 'I never thought I'd find one to be quite honest. That's how rare they are.' Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 A Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is seen in this undated image from Kinion Classics. He said he was aware of Canada's ongoing trade war with the United States, so he contacted the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to inquire about shipping the car to his home in Brantford, Ont. At the time, Gillespie said a CBSA agent told him he wouldn't be impacted because the tariffs don't affect classic cars over 25 years old. It wasn't until after Gillespie purchased the vehicle and began coordinating shipping, that he realized he'd be paying more than he had anticipated. 'I always get TFX International to bring the cars up and TFX, at that time, informed me that there would be a 25 per cent tariff on the automobile,' said Gillespie. CTV News contacted the CBSA and a spokesperson responded with an emailed statement. It read, in part, 'Please note that general information shared over the phone does not constitute an advance ruling of the duties and taxes that will apply to specific imports of goods. Each situation is unique, therefore we do not speculate or comment on individual outcomes.' Cam Gillespie Mustang tariff troubles Brantford, Ont. man Cam Gillespie posed for a photo on Aug. 6, 2025. (Karis Mapp/CTV News) What was expected to be a $106,000 purchase, adding up to over $145,000 with taxes and tariffs included. And Gillespie said the unexpected costs won't stop when the vehicle arrives. 'My insurance is going to be based on $145,000,' Gillespie said. 'I'm going to be paying a fortune in insurance for a vehicle that I'm going to drive maybe 15 minutes in the summertime.' The added cost comes due to Canada's retaliatory tariff that implemented in response to the Trump administration's tariff on automotive imports. For now, the Shelby Mustang is still sitting at the dealership in Iowa, but Gillespie was told they can only hold onto it until the end of August. With time of the essence, Gillespie has attempted to escalate his situation, reaching out to the office of Prime Minister Mark Carney and to Minister of Finance François-Phillipe Champagne. Cam Gillespie letter to Mark Carney Brantford, Ont. man Cam Gillespie wrote a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney as he struggles to ship a classic car to Canada. Brantford's Member of Parliament Larry Brock has even written a letter on Gillespie's behalf. Despite receiving a response from Prime Minister Carney's office, a resolution still hasn't been found. Which means, Gillespie is going to have to pay the tariff price if he wants his dream car. 'This should be changed, this doesn't make sense. It's not right.' Cam Gillespie response from Mark Carney's office Brantford, Ont. man Cam Gillespie received this response after writing a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney's office. The importance of importing The retaliatory tariff is aimed to de-incentivize Canadians from purchasing American-made cars. But for Gillespie and car enthusiasts alike, getting vehicles from the U.S. is their only option. 'In the classic car world, because of their climate and dry states, no salt, no snow, [the U.S. has] got 99.9 per cent of the inventory,' Scott Vickers, President of Summit Ford in Toronto, said. Vicker's company purchases cars on behalf of Canadians who may not be able to attend car auctions south of the border. They also recondition the vehicles. 'It's bad enough we have to deal with 30 per cent on exchange, now you tack on another 25 per cent in tariffs - It just economically doesn't make sense,' said Vickers. 'I've sold numerous classic cars and recently sold one, three times. Every time I sell that car, the government's getting roughly $13,000 to $15,000 in revenue.' The companies transporting the cars across the border are also feeling a financial hit. 'We're probably missing out on about $50,000 to $100,000 every week of potential sales just in transport alone,' said Aaron Horodnyk, the Vice President of TFX International – the company tasked with bringing Gillespie's Mustang to Canada. 'I think what's happened to Cam is absurd. People should be allowed to own and drive what they want to own and drive.'
