REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
(This statement is not part of the Order.)
Description
The Order Amending the Schedule to the Customs Tariff, 2006-2, removes the tariff on sour dough flavouring ingredients; carbon dioxide in non-refillable cylinders for use in Canadian manufactures; certain sulphonamides for use in the manufacture of veterinary anti-inflammatory medicaments; plain weave cotton fabrics, weighing not more than 100 g/m2; certain synthetic filament yarns for use in the manufacture of swimwear fabrics; self-propelled all-terrain cranes; and, semi-submersible crane vessels, floating cranes, and other heavy lift crane vessels, with a minimum gross lift capacity of 1,200 tonnes.
Alternatives
There is no practical alternative for amending the schedule to the Customs Tariff. It is longstanding practice to use Order in Council authority to reduce or remove customs duties on goods used in the production of other goods. An Order made pursuant to section 82 of the Customs Tariff is the appropriate and timely method to assist Canadian industry in competing more effectively.
Benefits and Costs
Canadian industry using these inputs and machinery will benefit from lower costs. It is estimated that the revenue foregone to the Government as a result of this Order will be $4,078,010.
Consultation
Detailed consultations were undertaken with all interested parties expected to be affected by the proposed amendments. There is no opposition to the proposals.
Compliance and Enforcement
Compliance is not an issue. The Canada Border Services Agency is responsible for the administration of custom and tariff legislation and regulations.
