SIMA RELIEF FOR SMALL SOLAR MODULES?
CITT CONSIDERING REQUEST FOR EXCLUSION FROM SIMA DUTIES
On December 11, 2025, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) announced the commencement of an interim review regarding its existing order imposing Anti-Dumping Duties (“ADDs”) and Countervailing Duties (“CVDs”) on certain Photovoltaic Modules and Laminates from China. The review will consider introducing an exclusion to the definition of Subject Goods which would effectively remove Anti-Dumping Duties from a narrow subset of Chinese solar panels.
Below, we explain what interim reviews are and why they are a useful tool to ensure that Canada gains from global innovation while protecting its domestic industry from unfair foreign competition.
