The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) advised on July 29, 2020, of the initiation of an expiry review of its finding made on September 9, 2015, concerning the dumping of certain whole potatoes originating in or exported from the United States for use or consumption in British Columbia.
Concurrently, on July 30, 2020, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an expiry review investigation to determine whether the expiry of the above finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the subject goods.
The CBSA will make a determination no later than October 16, 2020 and will issue a Statement of Reasons by October 30, 2020.
For detailed product descriptions, including exclusions and the tariff classifications of the subject goods, please refer to the case in the Measures in Force.
As part of its expiry review investigation, the CBSA has forwarded questionnaires to Canadian producers, importers and exporters. Any Canadian producers, importers or exporters who have not received a letter and wish to provide a response to the questionnaire or have additional questions concerning the expiry review are advised to contact:
Hugo Dumas: 613‑954‑7262
Rebecca Akuoko‑Asibey: 613‑954‑7370
Or by e-mail to: simaregistry-depotlmsi@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca
Responses to all questionnaires are due at the CBSA’s office in Ottawa by September 8, 2020.
