CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY
SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT
Grinding media — Decisions
On July 29, 2021, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(b) of the Special Import Measures Act, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has made final determinations of dumping and subsidizing concerning certain grinding media originating in or exported from India.
The subject goods are usually classified under the following tariff classification numbers:
- 7325.91.00.10
- 7325.91.00.90
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry is continuing, and it will issue its decision by August 27, 2021. Provisional duty will continue to be imposed on the subject goods from India until the CITT renders its decision.
If the CITT finds that the dumping and/or subsidizing have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury, anti-dumping duty and/or countervailing duty will be applied to future importations of the subject goods. In that event, the importer in Canada shall pay such duties.
The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping and countervailing duties.
Information
The Statement of Reasons regarding the final determinations will be issued within 15 days following the decision and will be available on the CBSA’s website.
