Canada Finds Dumping of Heavy Plate from Chinese Taipei & Germany
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal found that the dumping of certain heavy plate, originating in or exported from the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu (Chinese Taipei) and the Federal Republic of Germany has caused material injury to the domestic industry. Anti dumping duties will therefore be collected by the Canada Border Services Agency. Tribunal found that the volume of dumped goods originating in or exported from the Republic of Turkey is negligible. As such, the Tribunal terminated its inquiry regarding the dumping of the above-mentioned goods originating in or exported from the Republic of Turkey. The Tribunal will issue the reasons for its findings on February 22, 2021.
