Alternatives No alternatives were considered as it has been a long-standing 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 manufacturers in competing more effectively in both the domestic and export markets. Benefits and Costs This Order is consistent with existing policy and it is estimated that the revenue foregone to the Government as a result of this Order will be $1,716,000 annually. Consultation Detailed consultations were undertaken with all interested parties that were foreseen to be affected by the proposed tariff reductions. Compliance and Enforcement Compliance is not an issue. The Canada Border Services Agency is responsible for the administration of customs and tariff legislation and regulations.
