Statute overview

About this statute

This Act sets customs tariff rules, including duties on imported goods, tariff classifications, origin rules, marking requirements, and ministerial order-making powers. This provision sets preferential customs duty tariffs for certain imported goods and lets the Governor in Council and the Minister change tariff entitlement, quotas, staging, and related conditions by order or regulation. This provision sets preferential customs duty rules for several tariff categories, including when goods qualify for those tariffs and how the rates stage down to Free. This provision sets out CPVNT tariff staging rules and gives the Governor in Council powers to impose, suspend, extend, or amend surtaxes and related customs-duty measures. The Governor in Council may, on the Minister’s recommendation, impose or extend temporary customs duties or surtaxes on certain imported goods when specified injury, threat, market disruption, or trade-diversion conditions are met, subject to rate caps and time limits.
