Trade, Charity and Tribunal Notices

Summary#

This Canada Gazette page (published July 26, 2025) collects short notices from several federal bodies about trade, charity registrations, procurement disputes and broadcasting filings. Key items include a decision by the Canada Border Services Agency that ends a dumping investigation into certain corrosion‑resistant steel sheet from Türkiye, a list of charities that received proposed revocation notices from the Canada Revenue Agency, and several notices from the Canadian International Trade Tribunal about trade orders and new inquiries.

What it does#

• Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA): under the Special Import Measures Act, the CBSA terminated a dumping investigation on corrosion‑resistant steel sheet from Türkiye made by Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş. (decision dated July 16, 2025).

  • Provisional duties on those goods will stop.
  • Any provisional duties paid or securities posted will be refunded as appropriate.
  • A Statement of Reasons will be posted on the CBSA website within 15 days of the decision.

• Canada Revenue Agency (CRA): the CRA sent notices proposing the revocation of registration for a list of charities for failing to meet parts of the Income Tax Act.

  • The Gazette text says the revocation is effective on the date of publication of the notice in the Canada Gazette (that is, July 26, 2025).
  • Examples on the list include HELLENIC CANADIAN ORTHODOX MISSIONARY FRATERNITY and PEOPLE PLANET ANIMALS FOUNDATION (the Gazette lists many others).

• Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT): several actions and notices:

  • The Tribunal continued, without change, its order on structural tubing from the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Türkiye (continued on July 16, 2025).
  • The Tribunal is conducting procurement inquiries into:
    • Binocular night vision devices following a complaint by Cadex Inc. (inquiry decision dated July 9, 2025).
    • Wildlife control services following a complaint by West Coast Wildlife Control Services Ltd. (inquiry decision dated March 12, 2025).
  • The Tribunal started a preliminary injury inquiry (file PI-2025-004) into alleged dumping and subsidizing of cast iron soil pipe from the People’s Republic of China. Key dates in that process include:
    • Deadline to file a Notice of Participation: July 24, 2025.
    • Tribunal will issue a list of participants: July 29, 2025.
    • Submissions by parties opposed to the complaint due: August 12, 2025.
    • Reply submissions by the complainant/supporting parties due: August 19, 2025.

• Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC): posted a set of applications, decisions and notices of consultation on its website.

  • The Gazette lists some radio/broadcast application deadlines, for example a CBC filing with a comment deadline of August 14, 2025.

Who's affected#

• Importers and buyers of corrosion‑resistant steel sheet and Turkish exporters such as Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş. — they will no longer face provisional duties related to this investigation.
• The charities named in the CRA notice and their donors, clients and funders — proposed revocation can affect a charity’s tax status and ability to issue donation receipts.
• Producers, importers and distributors of cast iron soil pipe and firms involved in structural tubing — they may be affected if the Tribunal’s inquiry leads to duties or measures.
• Companies that bid on government contracts for night vision equipment and wildlife control services, including Cadex Inc. and West Coast Wildlife Control Services Ltd. — the procurement decisions could be reviewed or delayed.
• Broadcasters, applicants and stakeholders who follow CRTC licensing and consultation processes.

Why it matters#

• Ending the CBSA dumping probe means some steel imports will not carry provisional duties and importers can seek refunds. That can lower costs for businesses that use this steel.
• Revocation of a charity’s registration can stop it from issuing official donation receipts and may change its funding and operations. Donors and clients of named charities may be directly affected.
• Trade inquiries and preliminary injury proceedings can lead to import duties or other remedies that change prices, supply chains, or market access for affected products.
• Procurement inquiries can delay government purchases and affect which companies get contracts for defence or other services.
• CRTC postings set deadlines and create opportunities for public comment or objections that shape local broadcasting services.
