As previously communicated in TCCU bulletin TCC24-107, the conditional Country of Melt and Pour (COM) rules for the Global Affairs Canada (GAC) Steel Monitoring Program became active in Production on January 21, 2025.

Due to Customs Tariff updates made for 2026, the following updates have been made to the steel country of melt and pour HS code exclusion list:

Remove HS 7308900060 from the exclusion list (HS is no longer valid)

Add the following HS Codes to the exclusion list
o          7308900061
o          7308900062
o          7308900063
o          7308900064
o          7308900068
o          7308900069
o          7308900070

In accordance with the regulations, COM requirements are excluded for the following HS codes: 

 
In addition to the above exclusions, the COM is not required when the sum of the total commodity values (for non-exempt steel regulated HS codes) does not exceed $5,000.  The following scenarios help define how the conditional COM rules are triggered for GAC Steel regulated shipments:
 
Example 1: 
IID Line Item 1: HS Code: 7208380020, Commodity Total Value: CAN$3,000 – COM Not Required
IID Line Item 2: HS Code: 7224100000, Commodity Total Value: CAN$1,800 – COM Not Required
 
In the above example, COM is not required for both line items: 
•             Both products do not appear in the product-specific (HS) exclusion list (outlined above).
•             However, the total value of products subject to the COM requirement is $4,800, which is less than $5,000.

Example 2:

IID Line Item 1: HS Code: 7211900000, Commodity Total Value: CAN$3,900 – COM Required
IID Line Item 2: HS Code: 7228800099, Commodity Total Value: CAN$4,100 – COM Required
 
In the above example, COM is required for both line items: 
•             Both products do not appear in the product-specific (HS) exclusion list.
•             The total value of products subject to the COM requirement is greater than $5,000.

Example 3: 
IID Line Item 1: HS Code: 7304290029, Commodity Total Value: CAN$7,300 – COM Required
IID Line Item 2: HS Code: 7216610000, Commodity Total Value: CAN$6,000 – COM Not Required
 
In the above example, COM is required for line item 1 only: 
•             Line item 1 is greater than $5,000, and is not found in the product-specific (HS) exclusion list. 
•             Line item 2 appears in the product-specific (HS) exclusion list. 
 

NOTE:  As outlined in the regulations, Customs Self Assessment (CSA) participants remain exempt from General Import Permits (GIPs) reporting requirements for aluminum and steel, including the need to provide the COM data element, when they release these goods under paragraph 32(2)(b) of the Customs Act.

En raison des mises à jour du Tarif des douanes pour 2026, les modifications suivantes ont été apportées à la liste d’exclusion des codes SH relatifs au pays de fonte et coulage de l’acier :

Retrait du code SH 7308900060 de la liste d’exclusion (ce code n’est plus valide).

Ajout des codes SH suivants à la liste d’exclusion.
o          7308900061

Conformément à la réglementation, les exigences relatives au PFC sont exclues pour les codes SH suivants :

Outre les exclusions mentionnées ci-dessus, le PFC n'est pas requis lorsque la somme des valeurs totales des marchandises (pour les codes SH réglementés de l'acier non exemptés) ne dépasse pas 5 000 $. Les scénarios suivants permettent de comprendre comment les règles relatives au PFC conditionnel s'appliquent aux expéditions réglementées de l'acier d'AMC :
