CFCP EFFORTS ARE SUCCESSFUL IN HAVING THE 25% TARIFF REMITTED ON TWO STEEL DERIVATIVE PRODUCT CATEGORIES
HS Codes 8302.41.90 and 3925.20.11 Have Been Remitted from Customs Notice 25-33
As previously advised, on December 26, 2025, the Canadian Government’s Customs Notice 25-33, introduced a new set of tariffs on all imports into Canada on a number of steel derivative product categories in our industry.
On February 24, 2026, an Order in Council was signed granting remission for HS codes 8302.41.90 (window and door hardware) and 3925.20.00 (finished uPVC and fiberglass windows and doors).
This outcome reflects the collective effort of several impacted companies and associations, including CFCP, who jointly lobbied the Finance Department. We would like to thank our member companies who provided support letters, and the engagement of partner associations, including Fenestration Canada, Fenestra, CHBA and AVFQ.
The Order in Council can be found here:
https://orders-in-council.canada.ca/attachment.php?attach=48175&lang=en
The Remission Applies to the Following Tariff Items
3925.20.00 – Doors, windows and their frames and thresholds for doors
8302.41.90.20 – Window hardware
8302.41.90.39 – Door hardware (other than for garage doors)
8302.41.90.41 – Poles, rods or track
8302.41.90.49 – Drapery accessories
8302.41.90.90 – Mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for buildings (other than window hardware, door hardware or drapery accessories)
As implementation details become clearer, the CFCP will provide additional updates.
25% Tariffs Continue on Other Steel Derivative Categories
Beyond the 8302.41.90 and 3925.20.00 HS code categories, a number of other steel derivative categories are still being impacted by the Canadian Government 25% tariff. Again, you can see the full list here.
CFCP would like to know from our members what other specific tariff categories are being impacted as the tariffs cover categories such as fasteners; wire ropes, cables and chains; steel and iron cloth, grille and netting; seating with metal frames and certain metal furniture to name a few.
Depending on feedback from CFCP members, the Association will consider submitting a tariff remission request for additional categories.
To Support You on this Matter, we will Need your Help
(1) Let us know if these new tariffs are impacting your company and you would like our support?
(2) Please provide a contact person we can follow-up with.
(3) Provide the Tariff HS code categories impacting your company.
(4) Indicate whether you can provide a Letter of Support for a Tariff Remission Request. We can provide a short template tailored to the tariff item(s) affecting your business and review drafts before submission if you would like.
Member Support Letters
Letters do not need to include sensitive commercial information or detailed pricing data. High-level, practical input is sufficient. In particular, it is important that members be explicit about steel content (or the lack thereof). Some of our members have been able to complete this in 15 minutes.
Helpful points to address include:
· How products under these tariff items are used in your operations;
· Whether domestic supply is limited or unavailable for your needs;
· Whether the products you import do or do not contain steel reinforcement;
· The impact of these duties on costs, competitiveness, or investment decisions;
· Any downstream effects on manufacturing, employment, pricing, or project delivery.
