Ottawa, Ontario, January 14, 2025-Further to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal's inquiry (NQ‑2025‑005), the Tribunal today found that the volumes of dumping of steel strapping, originating in or exported from the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam), were negligible, as this word is defined in the Special Import Measures Act. Therefore, the Tribunal terminated its inquiry regarding the dumping of the above‑mentioned goods originating in or exported from South Korea and Vietnam. The Tribunal also found that the dumping of the above‑mentioned goods originating in or exported from the Republic of Türkiye, and the dumping and subsidizing of those goods originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China, have caused injury to the domestic industry. Anti‑dumping and countervailing duties will therefore be collected by the Canada Border Services Agency. The complainant in this case was JEM Strapping Systems Inc. of Brantford, Ontario.
The Tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It hears cases on dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, complaints about federal government procurement and appeals of customs and excise tax rulings. When requested by the federal government, the Tribunal also provides advice on other economic, trade and tariff matters.
