Ottawa’s remissions system can offer some respite for companies hit by tariffs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Companies are set to avoid a significant chunk of Ottawa’s tariffs on $28-billion worth of U.S. imports, despite the federal government describing it as a “dollar-for-dollar” counterpunch, according to trade experts and an analysis by The Globe and Mail.

In some cases, however, importers w
