Canada's Department of Finance states that the Canadian International Trade Tribunal issued its report in the safeguard inquiry into whether global imports of certain canned and frozen vegetables are causing or threatening serious injury to Canadian producers, and that the government will review it and announce its decision in due course. The 10 per cent surtax on global imports of canned vegetables announced on June 10, 2026, remains in place for its maximum duration of 200 days or until it is replaced by final safeguard measures.
