Canada Considers Collecting Melt & Pour Info on Steel Imports

Canada is seeking public comment as it considers collecting and publishing country-specific information about where steel imports are melted and poured under the nation’s Steel Import Monitoring Program.

Mary Ng, Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development announced the public consultations. Monitoring the country where a steel import was originally melted and poured “could increase supply chain transparency and help in obtaining a more fulsome picture of the origins of imported steel goods,” Ng’s office said.
