The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) work to protect Canadian businesses from harmful trade practices through the administration of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA). The CBSA assesses complaints of unfair dumping and/or subsidizing. The CITT then determines if these practices have harmed Canadian industry.
On October 24, 2025, the CBSA announced the launch of a SIMA investigation regarding the alleged dumping and subsidizing of certain truck bodies originating in or exported from China. The investigation follows a complaint filed by Morgan Canada Corporation, Bolton, Ontario, and Morgan Transit Corporation, Laval, Québec.
Subsequently, on October 27, 2025, the 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 December 29, 2025.
