CBSA issues a final determination on upholstered domestic seating

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), on August 3, 2021, made its final determination in respect to certain upholstered domestic seating from China and Vietnam.

The CBSA has terminated the subsidy investigation due to no subsidy or insignificant amounts of subsidy on 16 exporters from China and 8 exporters from Vietnam.

The CBSA has also made final determinations of dumping and subsidizing of certain upholstered domestic seating from China and Vietnam, with respect to exporters for which the investigations have not been terminated.

The CITT is continuing its inquiry into the question of injury to the domestic industry and will issue its decision by September 2, 2021.

Provisional duties will continue to be payable on the subject goods from China and Vietnam

until the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) renders its order or finding.

However, provisional countervailing duties on imports of goods exported from China by the 16 exporters and from Vietnam by the 8 exporters named in the final determinations, will no longer be collected and provisional countervailing duties paid or security posted on these goods during the provisional period will be returned.

Additional details regarding this final determination are found in CBSA’s Notice of final determinations.

A Statement of Reasons, which will be available within 15 days on the CBSA’s website.
