Update to country of melt and pour requirement for certain steel products

On November 5th, 2024, the requirement to provide the country of melt and pour (COM) on imports of steel goods subject to General Import Permits No. 80 and No. 81 came into force. Importers are now required to provide the COM information when completing their customs declarations through the Single Window Integrated Import Declaration (SW IID).

Global Affairs Canada has now provided the HS classification codes for goods which are exempt from the COM requirement.

The HS listing is available here.

Detailed information on the COM requirement and exemptions, is available in the Notice to Importers – Steel General Import Permits No. 80 and 81 – Carbon and Specialty Steel Products – Serial No. 1133
