The SIMA provides measures to address situations where an investigation is initiated on goods produced or exported from a country where domestic prices are substantially determined by the government and there is sufficient reason to believe that they are not substantially the same as they would be if they were determined in a competitive market.

In such cases, the CBSA initiates a section 20 inquiry. Where it is determined that the situation described in Section 20 of the SIMA is applicable in a case, a different methodology will be used to determine the normal values of the goods originating in or exported from that country. As prescribed in SIMA, this may involve the determination of normal values using prices and costs of like goods in a third country (i.e. a "surrogate" country), or a determination made on the best information available.
