Canada Introduces Conditional Aluminum Reporting Requirements

Posted by Salvatore Laverde on 7/7/26 5:00 PM

In a Customs Notice 26-15, published on June 23, 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC) announced proposed changes to aluminum import reporting under General Import Permit (GIP) 83.

The country of largest smelt, country of second-largest smelt, and country of most recent cast are initially optional data elements. However, once the regulatory changes enter into force on October 1, 2026, these data elements will become conditional reporting requirements for GIP 83.

New component codes will be added to Integrated Import Declaration reporting to support the change. Customs Self-Assessment (CSA) importers remain exempt where applicable. Further guidance is expected ahead of implementation from CBSA.
