Dry wheat pasta from Turkey assigned new values

Revision may result in a change to duties being assessed on importations of these goods

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) concluded, on March 24, 2021, a re-investigation of the normal values, export prices and amounts of subsidy of certain dry wheat pasta originating in or exported from Turkey, in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act.

The re-investigation was initiated on November 27, 2019, as part of the CBSA’s ongoing enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) finding of material injury issued on July 26, 2018.

The CBSA postponed the re-investigation, from April 30, 2020 to September 28, 2020 in order to alleviate pressures brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic to interested parties.

Specific normal values, export prices and/or amounts of subsidy have now been determined as detailed in the Agency’s Notice of Conclusion of Re-investigation.

In its Notice the CBSA reminds importers that it is their responsibility to calculate and declare their anti-dumping and/or countervailing duty liability. When importers are using the services of a customs broker to clear importations, the brokerage firm should be advised that the goods are subject to anti-dumping and/or countervailing measures and be provided with sufficient information necessary to clear the shipments.
