On May 12, 2025, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced the launch of a SIMA investigation respecting the alleged dumping of certain Steel Strapping originating in or exported from China, Korea, Turkey and Vietnam, and the alleged subsidizing of said goods originating or exported from China. The investigations follow a complaint filed by JEM Strapping Systems Inc.
Subsequently, on May 13, 2025, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated a preliminary inquiry to determine if the alleged dumping and subsidizing of said goods has caused injury or is threatening to cause injury to Canadian manufacturers. The CITT is scheduled to make their determination no later than July 10, 2025.
Full details regarding the CBSA’s investigation are available here.
Details of the CITT preliminary injury inquiry are available on the CITT website.
