Tribunal to review expiry of duties on certain whole potatoes from the United States
Anti-dumping finding scheduled to expire unless CBSA and Tribunal decide to maintain it
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal initiated a review to determine if the expiry of its order from September 2015 is likely to lead to continued or resumed dumping of certain whole potatoes imported from the United States for use or consumption in the province of British Columbia and, if so, would this be likely to result in injury to Canadian industry.
The Tribunal’s finding, dating back to the 1980’s and renewed every five years since, imposed anti-dumping duties on these goods.
In the first step of the review the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will determine, by December 24, 2020, if there is a likelihood of resumed or continued dumping of the goods if the finding is left to expire.
In the event of a positive determination, the Tribunal will determine, on June 2, 2021, whether the continued or resumed dumping and subsidizing are likely to result in injury.
