Have Your Say
As part of its expiry review investigation, the CBSA has solicited responses to questionnaires from Canadian producers, importers, exporters and the Government of China. Any Canadian producers, importers or exporters who have not received a letter from the CBSA who wish to provide a response to the questionnaire are advised to contact the CBSA SIMA Registry and Disclosure Unit by email.
Responses to all questionnaires are due at the CBSA SIMA Registry and Disclosure Unit’s email address by March 28, 2024.
Expiry reviews are conducted to determine if a SIMA measure will be rescinded after 5 years in force or will be continued for another 5 years. These reviews must be initiated before the scheduled expiry date of the measure.
