Canadian International Trade Tribunal

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) hears appeals from decisions under the Customs Act, Special Import Measures Act and the Excise Tax Act. The Tribunal provides Canadian and international businesses with access to fair, transparent and timely processes for the investigation of trade remedy cases and complaints concerning federal government procurement and for the adjudication of appeals on customs and excise matters. At the request of the Government, the Tribunal provides advice in tariff, trade, commercial and economic matters.

The CITT has authority to:

• Inquire into whether dumped or subsidized imports have caused, or may cause, injury to a domestic industry
• Inquire into complaints by potential suppliers concerning procurement by the federal government
• Hear appeals of decisions of the Canada Border Services Agency
• Inquire into and provide advice on such economic, trade and tariff issues as are referred to CIFF
• Investigate requests from Canadian producers for tariff relief on imported textile inputs
• Inquire into complaints by domestic producers that increased imports are causing, or threatening to cause, injury to domestic producers and make recommendations for an appropriate remedy
