SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Polyethylene terephthalate resin — Decisions

On September 15, 2025, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(b) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has made final determinations of dumping of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin from China and Pakistan, and subsidizing of PET resin from China.

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 October 15, 2025. Provisional duties will continue to be imposed on the subject goods from China and Pakistan 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 duties and/or countervailing duties 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 full product definition and potential applicable tariff classification numbers are found on the CBSA Dumping and subsidy investigations web page. The Statement of Reasons regarding the decisions will also be available within 15 days following the decisions.

SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Steel strapping — Decisions

On September 16, 2025, pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made preliminary determinations of dumping of steel strapping from the People’s Republic of China (China), the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Türkiye, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and subsidizing of steel strapping from China.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will conduct a full inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry and will make an order or finding no later than 120 days after its receipt of the notice of the preliminary determinations of dumping and subsidizing.

Pursuant to section 8 of SIMA, provisional duties are payable on the subject goods that are released from the CBSA during the period commencing September 16, 2025, and ending on the earlier of the day the investigations are terminated, the day on which the CITT makes an order or finding, or the day an undertaking is accepted.

The amount of provisional duties payable is not greater than the estimated margin of dumping and the estimated amount of subsidy. The Customs Act applies with respect to the accounting and payment of provisional duty. Therefore, failure to pay duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Customs Act.

Information

The full product definition and potentially applicable tariff classification numbers are found on the CBSA Dumping and subsidy investigations web page. The Statement of Reasons regarding these decisions will be issued within 15 days following the decisions and will be available on the CBSA website.
