Aluminum Extrusions Order Continued; Security Complaint Dismissed

Summary#

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal issued two notices on October 1, 2025 that were published in the Canada Gazette on October 11, 2025. One continues an anti‑dumping/anti‑subsidy order on aluminum extrusions from the People’s Republic of China; the other rejects a procurement complaint by The British Columbia Corps of Commissionaires (BCCC) about a security services contract with the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

What it does#

• Continues, with amendment, the Tribunal’s order in expiry review RR-2024-007 that deals with the dumping and subsidizing of aluminum extrusions originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China. Some specific products are excluded; the full list and technical descriptions are in the Tribunal’s order.
• Decides on file PR-2025-013 that a complaint by The British Columbia Corps of Commissionaires (BCCC) about solicitation M2989-252261 (scene security and emergent event services for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) is not valid. The Tribunal reviewed evidence and relevant trade‑agreement rules before reaching that decision.

Who's affected#

• Importers and exporters of aluminum extrusions tied to China, and Canadian companies that make or use those extrusions. Customs officials and trade lawyers will also notice this.
• Security firms that bid on federal contracts, including BCCC, other bidders, and the procurement staff at PWGSC and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
• If you are unsure whether a specific product is covered or excluded, the Tribunal’s order has the detailed list.

Why it matters#

• The continuation of the aluminum‑extrusion order means trade remedies remain in place for those goods. That can affect prices, import decisions, and suppliers that rely on those extrusions.
• The dismissal of the procurement complaint means the challenged solicitation stands. That affects who can compete for that security contract and confirms how that particular federal procurement was handled.
• The Gazette notice does not list the detailed product descriptions, exclusions, or any financial penalties; for those specifics you need to consult the Tribunal’s full order.
