On February 21, 2024, CBSA implemented phase one of the requirement to provide the country of melt and pour (COM) in the Single Window Integrated Import (SWI) Declaration for steel products subject to GIP 80 & 81. The requirement to provide the COM is optional in phase one.
Phase 2 was slated to begin on November 5, 2024, when the requirement would become mandatory.
On October 18, 2024, CBSA gave notice that the scheduled production date of November 5, 2024, has been postponed until further notice. Importers are still able to provide COM information via SW and will be required to comply with the updated regulatory requirements of the GIPs.
