Market Disruption Safeguard Inquiry into Barbeques originating in the People’s Republic of China
Safeguard Inquiry No. CS-2005-001
The CITT determines, pursuant to subsection 30.22(6) of the CITT Act, that self-standing barbeques for outdoor use consisting of a metal lid, base and frame, fuelled by either propane or natural gas, with primary cooking space between 200 and 1,500 square inches (1,290 and 9,675 square centimeters), in assembled or knocked-down condition, originating in the PRC, are being imported in such increased quantities or under such conditions as to be a significant cause of market disruption to domestic producers of like or directly competitive goods.
Pursuant to the Order in Council by the Governor General in Council, issued on 10 August 2005 and in accordance with subsection 30.22(7) of the CITT Act, the CITT considers that the most appropriate remedy to remove the market disruption suffered by domestic producers of like or directly competitive goods is a surtax set at 15 per cent for a period of three years to be applied on an ad valorem basis, FOB Chinese port of shipment, to the above-mentioned barbeques originating in the PRC.
The CITT finds that no exclusions are warranted.
