More time needed in investigation of dumping of container chassis from China

September 1, 2021

Due to the existence of circumstances that make it unusually difficult to make a preliminary determination regarding the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of certain container chassis originating in or exported from China within the normal ninety days, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced that it extended the 90-day period for making preliminary decisions, pertaining to all or part of the investigations, to 135 days.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal determined in August that there is preliminary evidence that dumping and subsidizing have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury to Canadian industry. Provisional anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties could be applied to the goods in question if CBSA confirms that they are the subject of dumping and/or subsidization.

The decision by CBSA to issue its preliminary determination, or to terminate all or part of the investigation, will now be made on or before October 21, 2021.
