Notice of expiry of order: Photovoltaic modules and laminates (SML 2026 ER)

On September 17, 2026, pursuant to subsection 76.03(2) and subparagraph 76.03(12)(a)(iii) of the Special Import Measures Act, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal rescinded its order concerning photovoltaic modules and laminates originating in or exported from China. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties no longer apply to new releases of goods covered by that order.

The CBSA will automatically refund these duties paid on eligible goods released on or after March 25, 2026. The CBSA will contact importers or their customs brokers if additional information or action is required. For goods released on or after March 25, 2026, any outstanding re-determination process will be terminated and automatic refunds will be applied to those goods.

Goods released before March 25, 2026 are not eligible for a refund due to rescinding of the order. Assessments and reassessments relating to those earlier releases will continue.

If you have an outstanding request for redetermination on goods released before March 25, 2026, continue to follow the instructions and deadlines that apply to your case.
