Global Affairs Canada allocates steel quota on a first-come-first-served basis.
Global Affairs Canada has updated the administration of the steel Tariff-Rate Quotas (TRQs) under Item 82, June 13, 2026, of the Import Control List. Importers must secure a Shipment-Specific Import Permit (SSIP) on a first-come, first-served basis to be exempt from a 50% surtax at the time of final accounting. Notice to importers: Item 82 – Steel goods – Serial No. 1163
Requests for SSIPs are accepted up to 15 days prior to the expected date of entry into Canada. Once issued, an SSIP has a strict validity period of 30 days—specifically 5 days prior and 24 days after the expected date of entry specified in the application. Quota is considered utilized as soon as it is applied to an SSIP upon issuance.
Managing your timelines is critical because your SSIP’s validity period must cover the final date on which the goods receive official customs release by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). If an SSIP’s validity period does not cover the official release date, it is considered unused and expired, and it cannot be used to claim an exemption from the 50% surtax. Furthermore, quantities remaining unused at the end of a quarterly quota period do not carry over to the next period.
Protocole essentiel relatif aux entrepôts sous douane (CBW) – 4.2 Permis d’importation spécifiques à un envoi (sections 4.2.2 et 4.2.9) : En ce qui concerne les contingents tarifaires (CT) et les marchandises contrôlées, l’ASFC considère que le moment de l’entrée dans l’entrepôt douanier sous douane comme date officielle de mise en libre pratique aux fins du suivi des contingents. Conformément aux sections 4.2.2 et 4.2.9, la période de validité de 30 jours de votre SSIP doit couvrir cette date exacte d’entrée initiale dans l’entrepôt sous douane. Attendre le dédouanement final de l’entrepôt pour obtenir ou demander votre permis entraînera un statut « expiré » ou « invalide », ce qui déclenchera l’application de la surtaxe de 50 %.
If a shipment has already been accounted for with the CBSA, Section 4.2.16 notes that SSIPs can be issued retroactively. However, this flexibility is strictly dependent on whether sufficient quota remains available to cover the requested quantity. Importers must monitor daily TRQ utilization reports to verify current availability before counting on a retroactive permit.
Unused, expired, or partially utilized SSIPs must be promptly cancelled or amended by the applicant through the New Export Import Control System (NEICS) or via email form, accompanied by supporting files like the commercial invoice and bill of lading.
CBSA Alignment Note: This time-of-entry requirement aligns directly with CBSA Memorandum D10-18-1 guidelines governing Warehousing for Tariff Rate Quotas. To secure the within-access commitment rates and avoid the 50% penalty, all specific authority permit numbers and proper documentation must be validated at the initial warehouse stage, ensuring full integration between Global Affairs Canada tracking and CBSA border clearance procedures. Memorandum D10-18-1: Tariff Rate Quotas
CBSA does not automatically validate TRQ permits at the time of importation, whether for goods entering Canada directly or those entering or exiting a CBW. Instead, CBSA conducts post-importation reviews and verifications of importers to ensure the validity of any TRQ permits used within both standard import processes and the CBW program.
