Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us. We are right at the top of the hour, and I see our participant numbers continue to climb, but we are going to get started just to be respectful as possible of everybody's time today. Thank you. Someone said that they are hearing the echo. If you are hearing the echo, you are likely joined in two different places, so double-check that. Thank you so much for letting me know so I don't drive everyone crazy. Again, thank you so much for joining us today. My name is Samantha Hurst. You may have seen me on some of our other Americas Customs Market Update supporting as host. I get the pleasure today of joining you all and our Canada team for a webinar focused on Canada's new counter-tariffs. We want to talk today about preparing for the impact and how we can support you all in doing so, and preparing your import supply chains. We're going to get started here with just some housekeeping items, including if you're joining us late and hearing an echo of my voice. So sorry about that, but you need to double-check that you're not joined in two places. That is why that's happening. Otherwise, you want to join your audio and make sure that you can hear us, because we don't want you to miss anything as we go through today's session. We do encourage you, as we go through the content today, to make sure that you drop any questions you have into the Q&A box. Of course, understand that we h ave a variety of industries on today. Many of you are from all across the supply chain spectrum, and so understand that that means if you have a question that's hyper-specific to your product or your particular industry, we just may not be able to cover that on today's webinar. But we do want to get your questions answered, so please do drop them in the Q&A box. If we can't answer them during today's session, we will get one of our experts back in touch with you to make sure your question does get answered. One of the questions that we get during every one of these webinars is, how do I get the slides? Actually, Steve, if you don't mind going to the next slide, we'll show them, so everyone can kind of see. Oh, I guess we're skipping through. There we go. Great. Is it there? Yeah, if you will go on to the housekeeping slide. All right. Perfect. Thank you so much. We will go back to the disclaimer. Those just got out of order for me. So here you will see that if you want to get the slides, we do have a short feedback survey that we will typically send you. It will come from myself, about an hour or two hours after today's event wraps up. Once you complete that survey, you will actually see a thank you message that immediately pops up. On that message, there will be a link that directs you straight to the recording and the presentation, as well as a couple other resources that we have for you, there on that landing page. Then finally, if you would like to subscribe to see invites automatically for future events, we absolutely encourage you to scan the QR code that you see here on the page. We will get you set up to get all of the invites that we send out because we do these webinars across the globe even, not just in the Americas and Canada. We would love for you to join us on any event that you find useful for your business. So Steve, if you want to jump back to the disclaimer slide. Apologies, that is on me for putting those in the wrong order there is what I am used to. This is basically just to remind you all from a disclaimer standpoint, it is just that we are not attorneys. None of our speakers that I am aware of are legal attorneys, and this is really just meant for your education. All of the content we provide today is based on our understanding of how we have seen things that have been put out from the various administrations involved in the tariff situation. Again, we cannot provide any legal advice or any direct financial advice, but we will just provide you this education and then you use it as you see fit from there. Now we are going to speed ahead two slides to Steve Hart, and he is going to introduce all of the speakers that we do have today that will provide the content. Great. Thank you. Thank you so much, Samantha Hurst. Good afternoon, everyone, and we are glad to have you with us to discuss the latest developments with Canada's counter-tariffs and what they mean for importers moving forward. I am joined today by Tara Wiese, our Customs Manager in our Windsor operations, Liz Murphy, Customs Brokerage Manager in our Calgary office, and David Mitchell, our Customs Solutions Manager here in Toronto. Together, they bring extensive expertise in customs compliance, brokerage operations, and trade advisory services, providing valuable insight in today's discussion. All right. So agenda. With September 8th fast approaching, Canada is preparing to introduce new counter-tariffs on a wide range of U.S.-origin goods. For many businesses and importers, it raises some important questions. Are we affected? What will be the additional costs? What can we do to reduce the impact? Today we will answer those questions by breaking down what is changing, who may be affected, potential relief opportunities, and the immediate actions businesses should consider before implementation. Our focus will be practical, helping you protect compliance, manage costs, and make informed supply chain decisions so that you can leave today better prepared for September 8th. With that, I will hand it over to Tara to walk through the next section. Tara, over to you. Thank you, Steve. As we all know, within days of the U.S. action, Canada announced a dollar for dollar countermeasure package. Canada's response targets approximately CAD 27.6 billion of U.S. imports through new surtaxes, and those surtaxes are ranging from 15%-50% on more than 700 U.S. product lines. The measures are scheduled to take effect September 8th, and they focus on many of the same industries impacted by the U.S. action. This transforms the issue really from a U.S. import challenge into a two-way trade disruption, affecting companies on both sides of the border. Today, I want to reiterate that importers should be reviewing product classifications, landed costs, supply chain exposure, and available remission opportunities now rather than waiting until the goods arrive. The key takeaways here really are for any importer is that this is no longer simply a tariff discussion but a supply chain strategy discussion. Companies need to understand where they are exposed, determine whether any relief programs may apply, and then proactively model the financial impact before the cost begins flowing through their supply chain. Next slide, Steve. As I stated on my previous slide, Canada's response was designed as a dollar-for-dollar measure, and the objective is to apply economic pressure. For importers, this means a significant number of U.S. origin products may face additional costs when entering Canada. The measures are scheduled to take effect, as I said, on September 8th, giving businesses a limited window to assess exposure and evaluate mitigation strategies. Unlike previous rounds of the retaliatory measures, this proposal introduces three different surtax levels. The tiered approach allows Canada to strategically target products based on policy priorities and economic impact. But for businesses, understanding which rate applies to which SKU will be essential because the financial impact could vary significantly. The delayed implementation date creates a small window for further discussions and potential negotiation, obviously between Canada and the United States. While there remains an opportunity for change before September 8th, businesses should not assume the measure will be withdrawn, and our recommendation is to be prepared based on the proposal published while monitoring developments closely as we will be. Here, the most important takeaway really is that the importers should use this period to understand their exposure and look at any remission opportunities where available. You will hear that multiple times throughout the webinar. This would mean having a very in-depth conversation with your broker to discuss end use of products coming in and understanding if there is a remission that can be used to eliminate the surtax payout. Steve, next slide, please. I thought it was important here, just to really show you an example of how the surtax is calculated out. As you can see, in the United States, there really was a stacking There is, sorry, a stacking rule, where those products could be subject to multiple tariffs, and so simultaneously there is stacking. Canada, that is not the case. I just wanted to show a very quick example of how that is calculated out. Here you can see if the value for duty of your product is CAD 100,000 and it hits a 5% MFN duty rate, that would be the CAD 5,000 for the CAD 100,000. The surtax is also calculated on the value for duty, and if it was sitting at 50% would be the highest rate, that would be an additional CAD 50,000. That is now all added together to make the CAD 155,000, and then the GST is paid on top of that. The total border charges for that file would really be CAD 61,500 before any remissions. Again, I say before any remissions, because it is important when you look at this calculation to have those conversations with us, talk about the end use of the product, take a look at the classification, do all of this upfront work with us so that we can discuss and see if there's any way to eliminate these charges for you. Steve, next slide, and I will pass it to Liz. Sorry, Liz, I think you're on mute. Yeah. I am so sorry. There we go. From an import compliance and customs perspective, the biggest impact is that importers will see significantly higher landed costs. The key impacts for importers are your higher duty liability at import. Importers of your affected U.S. products will pay additional surtaxes, as tariffs have shown 15%, 25%, 50% on top of normal duties and taxes. Many steel and aluminum products that were previously subject to 25% are increasing to 50%. Furniture and apparel are also among the highest affected categories. Number two, cash flow pressure. Importers must pay the surtax when accounting for goods with Canada Border Services Agency unless you have an eligible relief program. This increases your working capital requirements and may significantly affect importers with large inventories or frequent cross-border shipments. Increased origin verification requirements. The surtax is applied to goods determined to be of U.S. origin. Companies will need strong documentation supporting country of origin, manufacturing location, marking eligibility, and supply chain traceability. Expect your customs teams to spend more time validating origin declarations and supplier certifications. Supplier sourcing shifts. We are going to see a lot of this. We already are. Many Canadian importers will actively seek Canadian suppliers, Mexican suppliers, European suppliers, and Asian suppliers. This is especially likely in steel, aluminum, furniture, appliances, electronics, and agricultural equipment sectors where the tariff burden is substantial. With the pulp and paper sectors, keep in mind that that could include your marketing materials, signage. The fish was removed. This is good. The last part of the key factors is your classification scrutiny. Because the tariff rates differ by product, accurate HS classification becomes critical. Misclassification could result in additional assessments, penalties, retroactive duty collection. You want to make sure you can take advantage of any opportunities to reduce your risks. This could be MPE opportunities, bonded warehouse strategies, duty deferral considerations, and potential Canada Border Services Agency remissions and exemptions. Can I have the next slide, please? All right. Government support and mitigation plans. Ottawa has a CAD 7.5 billion tariff relief program. This will help with loans, worker support, project funding, and it will help offset the economic damage. The CAD 7.5 million is split up. There is CAD 3.5 billion going to the rapid response. This supports extended EI benefits, flexibilities, waive wait periods for tariff affected workers. It can add 20 extra weeks to your EI for long-tenured workers, including a new worker retention and retraining program. There is CAD 2 billion going to the Canada Strong Diversification Fund. This supports shovel-ready projects at tariff level businesses, streamlined approvals, and a focus on capital maintenance and adaption to disruptive trade. CAD 1.5 billion is going to the Regional Tariff Response Initiative, the RTRI. At the agencies, this is to help small and medium businesses and enterprises, including liquidity, and it supports higher non-repayable loan caps. CAD 500 million going to additional liquidity stream, and this lowers the Business Development Bank of Canada's tariff related program revenue threshold to CAD 1 million. These packages are designed to protect jobs, strengthen the affected industries, and secure supply chains during prolonged uncertainty. Thanks. Okay. Thank you, Liz. We will then pass it on to Dave Mitchell to address the very important points of remission orders and the potential relief that is available to importers today. Dave? Yeah, thanks, Steve. This is one of the biggest concerns for importers and by far the largest number of questions that we received prior to the webinar. Really, saying that, the good news is that the Canadian government, Department of Finance Canada, has signaled that the existing remission programs are expected to continue for these new counter-tariffs. With that said, we are still waiting for the operational guidance, as Steve alluded to earlier. We still need an order in council, needs to be approved by General Counsel, and we need the, of course, customs notice, which puts all of this into effect. From that perspective, walk through what the current remissions are. The government has extended some of the expiry dates for these remissions, and you will see that at the bottom of these slides. For instance, the one for public health, public safety, and national security is extended through July 1st, 2027. That is based on ship date. Again, it could be extended after that. Really, this is for products going into hospitals, healthcare organizations, emergency response, fire departments, police, Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Canadian Armed Forces, those types of healthcare, public safety, and national security relief. It does not mean that those entities need to necessarily be importing them, but that those products need to be going directly into those, and that is what is facilitating the trade. Okay, please go ahead, Steve. The next current remission order that is open is, of course, the healthcare-specific relief. Again, things going into hospitals, medical labs, dental clinics can take advantage of this. Again, this was extended out. I will say the U.S. tariff that we will get into in a minute that is going to hit a lot of these was not extended because Canada repealed the counter-tariffs from the last round. Department of Finance Canada did say on a phone call that that is expected to be revived. However, these are the ones that are currently in play. Please go ahead, Steve. The next one is probably the largest one that companies are using today, and that is really relief where manufacturing is happening in Canada, any kind of production, reprocessing or processing of goods, things related to food and beverage packaging. Then from Customs, their definition is really from a processing standpoint around the assembly, any kind of a modification or adjustment. This is currently open to be used, and we are hearing from the government that this would relate to the new tariffs scheduled for September 8. It is really important to take a look, as Tara said, take a look at the exposure that you have across the classifications that are out there today. The Finance Canada website is a fantastic source of information for what tariffs they are going to be releasing and also what remissions will be in place at that time. It will not be enacted until we get that customs notice. Please go ahead, Steve. There is today's schedule-based product relief, and really what that means is within each one of these counter-tariff measures, there are certain schedules that hit throughout the countermeasure itself. It gets into a lot of detail at a classification level where schedule 1 might contain 50 certain classifications. Schedule two contains a different list. This is where one of them, schedule four, has expired to date within the product relief. That is related into some of the steel products, automotive-related products, and some specialized manufacturing components. You have to be very detailed looking at this, make sure that your classifications are going to be eligible for the remission. From that perspective, we are not going to know exactly which remissions will apply to these counter-tariffs until we get further notification from Customs itself. The schedule-based, as it states there, does apply to steel products, aluminum, industrial inputs, packaging materials, aerospace and automotive, and then some specialized manufacturing. Some of those are still in play if they are not within that schedule for today. Please go ahead, Steve. Then we have got the motor vehicle remission programs. Really, again, if you look at these and you took the information from Finance Canada and the government and their announcements over the past couple of weeks, we are trying to protect industry and protect jobs. If you cannot source particular goods from anywhere except for the U.S., that really does help with the business case for remission. I think I will just repeat as well, and I know Tara touched on it, but these counter-tariffs to the 338, the retaliation is only focused on goods that are country of origin from the U.S., not country of export U.S. If the origin is not U.S.A., but the products are coming out of the U.S.A., these specific counter-tariffs will not apply to those. It is only based on the U.S. origin. Please go ahead, Steve. Steel and aluminum, there are many remission codes and OICs, particularly here, because a lot of companies have worked through the remission process. We will talk about that briefly in a second. Importers are claiming relief through those designated OIC remission codes, and those are expected to continue moving forward as well. Then specific remission requests. This is really where you have a specific issue with products that you are importing that are hitting it with surtax. It is causing harm to your company. You do not have a means of sourcing that product from anywhere else. It might be a specialized product, it might be something that is single vendor. From that perspective, building out a business case and submitting that into the Department of Finance Canada, they will review it in detail. They will challenge you on the actual remission itself, but it will allow you to present the business case and possibly get remission. I will say that it started off really slow. When this first came out, the specific remission request, it was taking months for an acknowledgment even from the Department of Finance. We have seen a little bit more speed over the past couple of months through that remission request. Companies can help you, consultants can help you walk through this, and come up with what that business case needs to be for the Department of Finance to be able to be eligible for some of these. We have seen about 30 of these requests approved and six more are scheduled out, finance was saying, over the next couple of weeks. They are starting to pick up a little bit more speed reviewing these and getting that process under. They have manned this a little bit more than they had in the spring. Finally, just to reiterate what Liz had been talking about, not really related to remission, but I think just the general notion that the Canadian government wants to support Canadian jobs, Canadian companies, Canadian workers build Canada. You heard all of that if you listen to any of the press releases that were happening over the past couple of weeks. Really from this perspective, they are trying to go above and beyond to make sure that business doesn't stop or get affected by these reciprocal tariffs. Please take a look at each one of these programs. The BDC, as Liz has said, has reduced the eligibility threshold. Export Development Canada is a great resource as well. Even though you may think, hey, I'm not exporting this product directly, really talk to that team. They are financed from the government, and they have a lot of programs in place, again, to help support Canadian companies. Thank you, Steve. I think it's back to you. Yes, thanks, Dave. That was great. Really from both a business and compliance perspective, importers should focus on the following areas. Right out of the gate, and to reiterate what Tara had mentioned earlier, review your HS classifications and confirm the products are correctly classified against the new tariff list of classifications impacted. Number two, validate product origin and confirm origin here as customer eligibility does not provide an exemption from the new surtaxes. Assess your import timing. Review shipments around September 8th, as goods in transit before implementation may be excluded from the surtaxes. Most importantly, identify remission opportunities. Determine whether goods qualify for existing remission programs or product-specific relief, as Dave alluded to earlier. Evaluate supply chain alternatives, assess sourcing procurement, and explore alternative sourcing solutions. When we received the list on, I believe it was August 26 from the Department of Finance, we were extremely proactive with our client base. As soon as this list was provided by the Department of Finance, we proactively delivered specific impact reports to our customers. Using year-to-date import data, we calculated the potential surtax exposure for each importer. In many cases, the numbers were staggering to say the least. This reinforced the importance of taking action early. As we wrap up today, our key takeaway is while the new counter-tariffs create significant cost and compliance challenges, businesses that understand their exposure, leveraging available remission programs, and proactively review sourcing and classification strategies will be best positioned, really, to minimize risk and maintain supply chain continuity. I would like to thank everyone for their participation today. We will move it on to questions. Hey, Steve, before we get into the questions, I just wanted to reiterate as well the end-use codes and remission codes. I just want to reiterate, have those discussions. Have a discussion with your broker or your consultant, to really do a deep dive into those. Please know that CBSA can and will and has asked for backup documentation, when it comes to some of those remissions. We just want to make sure we have everything in order. For those remissions, it is so important to get that into the database and locked in, so that we have that going forward, and we understand what we can use the end-use codes for. Yeah. Make sure you are specifically calling that out to your customs broker, right? Yeah. Okay. I can- I'll read through these, Tara, and I'll- Okay get you guys, the experts, to answer them. How's that? Yeah. Perfect. Let's go with the first one I'm seeing here. If a payment was made to a U.S. supplier before September 8th, but the goods will be shipped after September 8th. Yeah Would the surtax still apply even though the purchase was completed before that date? Tara, do you want to go? Yeah, I can take this one. This is really, based on whether the goods are in transit to Canada. The payment, I understand, but if the goods are in transit, the measure comes into force at 12:00 A.M. on September 8. In transit as of that time, they will be hit with the surtax. Possibly. Possibly. Just if we're waiting for the customs office. Yes. Possibly. The way it stands right now. In transit may not apply. Yeah Time of release, they may apply. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Steve Hart, I am going to give you this one. What considerations, documentation or otherwise, should be taken when shipping used equipment from the U.S. branch to a Canadian branch for service work and then returned back to the U.S. once the work is complete? Time in Canada may be about 30 days. In Canada, was that temporary import days into Canada? Sounds like you could use that. That is kind of why I threw it at you. It is being temporarily imported. There is some work being done in Canada, service work, and then returned back to the United States. And I think what is important there is, what is the origin, the original origin of that product itself as well? I would absolutely confirm origin first out of the gate. There are many provisions, well, some provisions like Temporary Admission Permits. There is Chapter 99, 98, and also, we would need to confirm if USMCA CUSMA would apply. I would think that would be the easiest route, Tara, from an operational perspective. We would also need to know if it was coming in as a warranty repair or True. or otherwise. There's a lot of moving factors in that. Again, I just go back to having those discussions prior because there are so many moving pieces to that one as well. Yeah. If not answering the question there, we'd be happy to take it offline and- Yeah. I mean, a temporary entry, Steve, an E29B, if that's- Yeah. the way it came through, they would be hit with the charges only if the goods stayed into Canada, so. Right. It would really depend on how moving forward. Yeah, for sure. Tara, you touched on tariff codes and kind of end use or what used to be called annex codes, right? Yeah. We have a question about specific eligibility, but I think maybe we can answer that a little bit broader as well. Can tariff item 9977.00.00, which is used for surgical equipment and all that stuff Yeah be used for surgical equipment and surgical equipment parts, bypassing using the remission orders that will expire? Can it be used kind of instead? The way So again, as far as I'm reading right now, as of today, no. The 9977 will not be able to remove the surtax. We'll need that end-use code, which would possibly be an OIC. Again, it's very difficult to determine today because nothing's been published. I do see who sent that question, so I'll definitely reach out to her on the side, and we can walk through some of those products. I think it is, just to add to what you were saying there, from that standpoint, those tariff codes or annex codes can be used to relieve duties and taxes. They do. But it is really dependent, just reiterating what Tara Wiese was saying, it is really dependent on what the end use is. So it is potentially yes, but you have really got to dig into what that provision is for the end use. I agree. All right. We filed for a remission for the last surtax that ended last September and still have not heard back. I have heard they are backed up. So I will take this one real quick. I think, from that standpoint, if that remission ended and the remission was related to previous retaliatory tariffs that were in place with the U.S. that then got canceled out, that might have got skipped from Finance Canada. They might have been skipping those that did not have surtax on them over the past year. So I would suggest that one of two things, you have a consultant or like company review what your submission was to Finance Canada, because they were saying on a couple of calls they were not getting enough detail in the remission requests that were happening. So if you have not heard back, it might be because they did not have enough detail. It could be that it is in a backlog. But I would make sure that it is bulletproof and have that resubmitted in Finance Canada because, again, they have more employees taking a look at the remission orders at this point in time. They have committed more resources to doing that. Okay. Steve Hart, I will give you this one. Has the Canada Border Services Agency mentioned when they will be issuing the customs notice? Yeah. Right. Okay. Let me get that crystal ball out, Dave. No. Yeah. Not at all. We heard that it was going to be earlier this week, that it was going to be late last week. Yeah. I'm hoping that it's not like what the U.S. did with their CSMS messages, which came out about 15 minutes before they went live. Kind of also hoping it's a long weekend, that it comes out maybe tonight. But hey, that is hope, and you can't base anything off of that. Is this a great opportunity for Canada to tackle its inter-provincial trade barriers? Oops, that moved on me. I'm sorry. Has this been discussed in Canadian discourse? I think to answer, has it been discussed? Yes. I think if you listen to the Prime Minister over the past couple of weeks, he's talked about build Canada supporting Canadian product. And I believe the trade barrier piece has kind of underlined that he was working with the ministers. But again, that's just conjecture. Nothing has come out specifically from the government over the past few weeks. It should propel it, though, hopefully. Steve or Tara, either one of you guys that wants to get in on this, what is the process to file to get relief from surtaxes paid? Yeah. I know that we're going to have a link that comes out that will give you a link to where to file. Do you guys want to take it? Do you want me to? Well, I know in speaking to some clients with regards to that inquiry, specifically from the manufacturing sector, there could be a request for proof of manufacturing, proof of end use. You can take advantage of these programs, but you need to make sure that you are actually participating in these programs. Tara emphasized the end use provisions. It's very important that you are actually taking advantage and within those specific provisions. Yeah, and I would encourage anyone who's looking to get relief from the surtaxes paid, I'm assuming it is because maybe a remission wasn't used when Yeah. you feel that it was qualified for that, to contact either our Tradewin division or a consultant to help you with that process and push that through. Again, CBSA is requesting proof on most of those, and that proof can be loaded to the CARM portal with the files. Thank you. Tara, let's just get back on this released versus in transit. I've got a question here. How does the broker determine whether a truck shipment from the U.S. was in transit prior to September 8th? Well, the date of direction, it drives a lot. Normally for the broker, we will look for a signed, and I want to reiterate, a signed bill of lading for truck shipments or a documentation signed to state when it left and made its journey to Canada. The in transit is based on date of direction typically. Correct. Perfect. Steve, just to kind of keep it going back and forth, and Liz, feel free to jump on as well. If my company is selling to an intermediary who is purchasing the goods for the Department of National Defence, DND, can I apply for the remission order applicable for the special authorization code? Basically, can I use the remission, that first remission that we talked about, if you are selling to the Department of National Defence? The answer would be yes. As I reiterated earlier, you need proof of purchase order, et cetera, that you have that sale or purchase order from the Department of National Defence. Yeah, I think- It must be causing the Oh, sorry, Tara. Sorry. It must be causing the import. Not just the sale happening once it is in Canada already, but the cause of the import itself. Tara, please go ahead. Yeah, I was just going to reiterate, really looking at that prior to those shipments crossing into Canada is imperative, right? So that we can get ahead of that. As Steve said, often if we have to do a correction or a second version, that's when we'll be requested for documentation. So we really want to get that remission attached to the PARM and send it prior to release. Thank you. Okay, so our Canadian entity will be the importer of record for shipments for a data center. The goods are not for resale. Do we still owe the extra tariff, I would say surtax? Anybody want to take that? Yeah. If it's applicable to the surtax, the answer would be yes. Yeah. U.S. origin and one of the 700 items, I think was on the list, if I'm not mistaken. It would be applicable. Looking for the question, so I could read over it again. Okay. Please read over it again. I don't have access, Tara. Yeah. It's okay. I'll come back to it too, Dave, because No worries. I am sure Steve's got it. Yeah. Okay. Do remissions for items used in manufacturing, including items that might not have been physically altered but were reshipped as part of an assembled unit, this is very detailed, moving under a new HS code. Would that apply for remission? So used in manufacturing. They weren't physically altered, but they're being shipped back out as part of a unit that's unassembled. That one's pretty complex, Dave. Yeah. I would be more than happy to get the full details of that, including classification, et cetera, the complete classification prior to the shift, et cetera. I will answer that via an email if that- Yeah. Please do. person who sent that question in wanted to- Perfect. send it to me direct. Thank you. Okay. Scrolling through. Okay, so these countermeasures will be effective as of 12:00 A.M. Canada's countermeasures do not apply to U.S. goods that are Okay. That is all right. Thank you. Are there relief codes on the U.S. side as well? Something being shipped from Canada to the U.S. with country of origin, Canada. I think, this is the Canadian We could make an answer, but if you want to reach out with that question after the webinar, we will make sure to get a proper expert on that for you. You can also include a little bit more detail as to specific products, and we will make sure that we connect you with the right person. Hey, Dave, I thought I saw a question too, a couple of questions, actually, which is very common. I have gotten this quite a few times on CUSMA. Yes. Was there a question on that? I guess there was. Sorry. It kind of juggled around on me a little bit there. No, that is okay. I thought I saw a couple of them. Yeah. Would CUSMA relieve the surtax? The answer is no. Right. It could relieve duty, right? Correct. But a surtax is a tax, and it is additional. If you go back to Tara's calculation on about the fifth slide, that duty could be relieved by CUSMA, but the surtax would, of course, be additional. That is where you need to take a look at these remissions or end uses. Correct. Yeah. Okay. Can a company still continue to apply for remission under the Steel Derivative Goods Surtax Remission Order to avoid impact on these retaliatory tariffs, which include items from Chapter 73? I think, just to reiterate on that, or restate, until the General Counsel approves the remission orders to be applied to these retaliatory tariffs, we do not know that they are going to be in effect or not. That is going to require an order in council, and it will be stated on a customs notice, which basically is our operational guidance that we can use remission orders against this particular retaliation. Tara, maybe you could do this. What kind of supporting document is CBSA asking for when reviewing manufacturer remissions? Yeah. I am just going to go by what I have seen them ask for in the past, and it could be a statement from the consignee that they are using those specific parts for manufacturing. They could ask for a bill of material. They could ask for something on a letterhead stating. They do ask for the commercial invoice, the bill of lading, all of those regular documents for the clearance. But proof that that is a manufacturing facility and that specific piece or part that is coming in is actually being used in the manufacturing of the good. Right. I hope that was detailed enough. I think it was. Okay. Will intercompany shipments be treated any differently, or is it all just based on country of origin, Steve? I missed it, Dave. Could you speak up? Will intercompany shipments be treated any differently, or is it all just based on country of origin? Country of origin. Classification. U.S. country of origin. Classification and country of origin. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Either one of you, products made of steel with a country of origin that is not U.S. will not be subjected to these surtax changes, only products made from the U.S. I don't know if that's a question or a statement. Yeah. If it's a question, I can answer it. The answer is it won't. The shift of the way the steel surtax is going to be calculated, no. However, we still have to comply with the other orders that are in place for steel. If it's quota or country of melt and pour or surtax on other steel products, those will stand. Okay. I'm going to answer this one. You mentioned remissions are for the benefit of specific sectors, including government, emergency response, healthcare, and defense. You also mentioned manufacturing items that are consumed in manufacturing. Was it manufacturers generally or manufacturers linked to sectors you mentioned? There are different remission orders. One of them is specific to healthcare, defense, and all of that was the first one that we walked through. Then there's a separate remission order that applies to manufacturing, processing of goods, packaging, and food and drink packing. Really from that perspective, take a look at the classifications within that remission order specifically and the classifications that are going into your inputs, and you'll want to see which one fits the best. There could be that two remission orders would apply to the same product, but really from that perspective, you really want to follow along with your documentation to that specific remission order. Again, we're here to help if you have more detailed questions, or you could take a look at that with a consultant or something as well. Okay. Just to clarify, the shipment does not have to actually clear customs to avoid surtax. Just need proof that it started moving towards the border by September 8th. The way the notice reads, it states in transit. Yeah. In reference to value-added work performed in the United States, we ship materials to the U.S., not sold, to perform value-add work, and Canadian goods are returning to Canada after modification is completed. What should be declared value? Note, the order was drop-shipped to the U.S. value added. Again, I think this is one of those specific ones. Yeah. That if you help us out with a little bit of classification, all that kind of fun stuff. I do not know that this is asking about surtax or really what valuation should be used. So happy to reach out, or happy to have you reach out and, we will take a look at that. Thank you. All right, just cleaning a couple of these up. Keep a little time there. This is a relatively long one, guys. So we source base paper stock from Italy, which is delivered in rolls to an outside partner in the United States. They then glue the two rolls of base paper stock together and send the laminated rolls to another outsourced partner in Canada. Our Canadian outsourced partner then adds holographic foil to the rolls, sheets them, and sends the finished sheets back to us in the United States. Our Canadian outsourced partner sent us the below, says that was talking about the tariffs and that announcement. I cannot believe I got through all of that without stumbling over 17 words. I read this one too, Dave. This is what I take from it. First of all, the rules of origin, because the paper stock is coming from Italy, and it is glued. You have to look at the rules of origin and figure out what origin it is actually going to be. But one of the things that stood out for me was that you stated, being shipped from the U.S.A. I want to be very clear that if goods are just being shipped from the U.S.A., that is not the determination. The determination is actually the country of origin of the goods. Thank you. Here we have got one that, are the relief codes on the U.S. side as well? Something being shipped from Canada to the United States with country of origin as Canada. Again, I would ask that you send that to our teams after the webinar, and we will get a U.S. expert on that for you, and we kind of marshal that reply. All right, if an oil and gas company builds equipment in the United States and sells to a company based in Canada, can we expect 50% surtax? I can take this one. Again, the surtax is going to be based off of classification and country of origin. To answer this question without the classification of the goods and to figure out, okay, it is coming into an oil and gas company, for what reason? Is it going into a new build? Is it going into further manufacturing? There is a lot of details there. If somebody would like to get with me on a call, I would be happy to do that or take that question in more depth. Thank you, Tara Wiese. I think also depending on that classification, it might be a different percentage Correct. of surtax. Yeah. As you go through. So very dependent on those things. Amazing. I think we made it through all of the questions that we have so far. So you guys did a great job. Thank you. Steve, do you- Yeah, absolutely. And then some great questions there, and it is a perfect segue into the next slide. Again, we would like to thank you for joining us today, and if you would like to discuss the potential impact on your business or have any questions whatsoever, we are here to help. So please feel free to reach out to any of our Canadian customs team, as noted on the slide here. So thank you very much. We would be, again, more than happy to assist. And then Samantha. All right. Yeah. Thank you so much, you all. Great bit of information. Not bit. Great amount of information that you guys just covered. So thank you so much for providing all of that. And for those of you that are still with us, we do have some additional webinars coming up that we wanted to make you aware of. We, of course, have our U.S. customs market update that we do at least once a month now. That is coming up on September 22nd. You can scan that QR code below. We have a ground transportation webinar focused on Canada, talking about the market volatility and how you can use that to support margin control. So that is later in the month. And then unlocking growth in Canada through smarter distribution. That will be in October. So we hope you guys join us for more of those events that are coming down the pipeline. And again, as far as getting the content, the recording, and the presentation from today's webinar, you will again see an email. And I think I said it will come from me, but it will actually come from Sal. So if you are used to getting emails from Sal, that is who it will come from. Still did not want you to get confused there, but you will have it in your inbox within about an hour or two of this wrapping up, and that is how you get access to those materials. So again, thank you all for joining us. We hope you found this information valuable. For anybody that had open questions, we will work to get those answered for you. Thank you again. Team, great job. Thank you, everyone. Bye for now.
