The Special Measures Import Act (SMIA) allows the government to impose temporary safeguards, such as tariffs or quotas, to protect Canadian industries from a surge of imported goods that are causing, or threaten to cause, serious injury to domestic producers. The ruling by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) in the appliance case determined that Chinese manufacturers were "dumping" refrigerators into the Canadian market at unfair prices, causing injury to the Canadian industry. As a result, the Canadian government implemented temporary safeguards under the SMIA to protect Canadian manufacturers.
