French correction to United States surtax remission order

Summary#

The Canada Gazette published an erratum on September 23, 2026 for the Order Amending the United States Surtax Remission Order (2025) (SOR/2026-154). The correction fixes an error in the French text by adding a missing paragraph in section 89, under article 44.161 that describes a specific aluminum extrusion product. The HTML version was already updated.

What it does#

• Adds a French paragraph (paragraph (a)) under article 44.161 in section 89 that describes the covered product as hollow aluminum extrusions made of alloy 6061, temper T6, to specification ASTM B221, with minimum dimensions:
  • thickness 0,252 pouce
  • width 12 pouces
  • height 4,724 pouces
• Corrects only the French version of the earlier order; the notice says the HTML version has already been changed.

Who's affected#

• Importers, exporters and manufacturers of the specific aluminum extrusions described.
• Customs brokers and freight forwarders who prepare or check French-language shipment documents.
• Businesses and officials who rely on the French text of the Order Amending the United States Surtax Remission Order (2025) when determining eligibility for surtax remission.
• If it is unclear whether other parts of the order were affected, this erratum appears limited to the French wording only.

Why it matters#

• A clear French description avoids confusion about which products qualify under the surtax remission rules.
• For shipments described in French, the correction can affect whether a product is accepted for surtax remission at the border or during customs review.
• This is a technical, language correction rather than a new policy change, but it can have practical effects for traders who use the French regulatory text.
