Canada's Department of Finance said Minister of Finance and National Revenue François-Philippe Champagne met virtually with provincial and territorial finance ministers to discuss Canada's response to ongoing U.S. trade measures, including Canadian counter-tariffs, implementation of the remission framework, and supports for affected workers and businesses. The minister highlighted a recently announced $7.5 billion package of new and enhanced measures to protect workers and businesses facing trade-related pressures. Ministers also discussed internal trade barriers, mutual recognition, regulatory cooperation and increasing the use of Canadian steel in major projects. The release states no new measure, rate or effective date.
McKinsey & Company's Global Energy Perspective 2026 finds that under its "Fragmented Energy Order" scenario, tariffs and trade restrictions raise U.S. clean-technology costs, with battery energy storage facing the largest premium among low-carbon assets at a 40% to 50% increase in capital expenditure, driven by cathode material tariffs, critical mineral bottlenecks and supply chain localization barriers. The report says broad duties on steel and aluminum add indirect capital costs to balance-of-system components, including aluminum frames, which it puts at roughly 14% of total solar panel production costs, and steel used in ground-mounted tracking and racking.
The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a temporary final rule restricting stockpiling of polysilicon and its derivatives ahead of Section 232 import adjustments taking effect on Dec. 4, 2026, covering imports during the transition period from Sept. 22 to Dec. 3. The rule followed trade data showing a sharp increase in polysilicon imports after the Section 232 measures were released in early August. One market participant said the rule could curb China-origin wafers, cells and modules entering through circumvention channels involving smaller traders and companies, with limited direct impact on global polysilicon demand.

Only BN15s set up with an importer or importer/exporter "RM" account profile can obtain release and account for goods.
Why it matters: Importers, exporters and customs brokers must use an importer or importer/exporter "RM" account, not an exporter BN15, to obtain release and file the CAD for commercial importations on or after October 21, 2024.

The requirement is a term and condition of using the GIPs, and CBSA notes the conditional COM rules are not expected to be implemented in the SW IID on November 5, though the COM field has been available on an optional basis since February 2024.
Why it matters: Importers of carbon and specialty steel under GIPs 80 and 81 must report country of melt and pour information in the SW IID as of November 5, 2024, unless they qualify for the CSA, $5,000 value or finished-product exemptions.

The Canada Border Services Agency states in Customs Notice 25-02 that, between October 21, 2024 and January 30, 2026, it will not issue late payment penalties or late payment interest as a CARM transition measure.

Commerce published a correction to its August 28, 2026 notice, 91 FR 55518, stating that the CIT's final judgment was not in harmony with Commerce's covered merchandise inquiry determination on certain carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings from China.
