Dumping of certain grinding media from India injures Canadian industry according to CITT

February 19, 2021

After conducting a preliminary injury inquiry the Canadian International Trade Tribunal announced that it found a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of certain grinding media from India have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry.

On December 17, 2020 the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an investigation into the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of the goods in question following a complaint filed by a Canadian manufacturer.

Now that the Tribunal ruled on the question of injury, the CBSA will investigate to confirm that the imports are indeed being dumped and will make a preliminary determination by June 15, 2021.

Provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duties could soon be applicable to imports of the goods under investigation. In such a case the preliminary decisions of the Tribunal and the CBSA will have to be confirmed by final decisions.
