A notice published last week sets import requirements under Canada’s General Import Permit No. 80 for Carbon Steel and General Import Permit No. 81 for Specialty Steel Products, which will help Canada monitor steel and “facilitate the collection of import data.” Under the program, importers may also be required to give documents or other records to Global Affairs Canada to allow the agency to pinpoint “any errors in import data” and find “the source of any inconsistencies in a targeted manner.”
