-- 加拿大独立企业联合会（CFIB）表示，根据美国政府在近期最高法院裁决后推出的新制度，从本周起，许多加拿大小型出口商可能有资格获得部分美国关税的退税。 CFIB在周二发布的一份声明中指出，在2025年2月4日至2026年2月24日期间，根据《国际紧急经济权力法》（IEEPA），作为“进口商登记人”并就不符合《美墨加协定》（CUSMA）规定的商品缴纳美国关税的加拿大企业，现在可能有资格获得退税。 约三分之一的加拿大小型出口商面临着不符合CUSMA豁免条件的商品关税。CFIB指出，其中四分之一（26%）的企业是进口商登记人，应该有资格获得这些退税。 “不幸的是，”声明补充道，“其他一些加拿大小型出口商为了维持受关税影响的业务，降低了对美国客户的价格或与客户分摊了成本，因此无法获得这项救济。” 加拿大独立企业联合会（CFIB）主席丹·凯利在声明中表示：“虽然一些加拿大出口商可能获得一年多的关税收入退款是个好消息，但这套系统操作起来并不简单。加拿大企业需要开设美国海关账户和美国银行账户，并且可能需要与报关行合作才能获得退款。”

Carnaby Resources Continues to Be Undervalued Relative to Peers, Euroz Hartleys Says
Carnaby Resources (ASX:CNB) continues to be undervalued relative to its peers and given its production potential, Euroz Hartleys said in a Tuesday note, adding that the market may have missed a near-term production opportunity.The company has commenced a roughly 3,000 meters reverse circulation drilling program at its Greater Duchess copper gold project in Queensland, targeting extensions of high-priority mineralization at the Trekelano deposit.In addition, more assay results from a recently completed diamond drilling program are also pending, providing near-term news flow alongside the current drilling program, the equity research firm said.Leveraging its binding tolling and offtake deals with Glencore provides a low capital pathway to first production for Carnaby, and the first three years of production on Euroz Hartleys' modeling should come from lower-risk open pit reserves in the Trekelano, Mt Hope and Lady Fanny operations, it said.The equity research firm maintain a speculative buy recommendation on the stock with a price target of AU$0.96.
