Wood Venetian Blinds and Slats

IN THE MATTER OF an inquiry, under section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act, respecting:

WOOD VENETIAN BLINDS AND SLATS ORIGINATING IN OR EXPORTED FROM MEXICO AND THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

FINDINGS

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, under the provisions of section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act, has conducted an inquiry to determine whether the dumping in Canada of wood venetian blinds and slats originating in or exported from Mexico and the People's Republic of China has caused injury or retardation, or is threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry.

This inquiry is pursuant to the issuance by the President of the Canada Border Services Agency of a preliminary determination dated February 19, 2004, and of a final determination dated May 17, 2004, that the aforementioned goods have been dumped and that the margins of dumping of the goods are not insignificant.

Pursuant to subsection 43(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal hereby finds that:

· the dumping in Canada of stock wood venetian blinds originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China has not caused injury, is not threatening to cause injury and has not caused material retardation to the establishment of a domestic stock wood venetian blind industry; and

· the dumping in Canada of wood slats originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China has caused injury to the domestic wood slat industry.

Furthermore, in accordance with subsections 43(1) and (1.01) of the Special Import Measures Act, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal hereby finds that:

· the dumping in Canada of custom wood venetian blinds originating in or exported from Mexico has not caused injury and is not threatening to cause injury to the domestic custom wood venetian blind industry; and
· the dumping in Canada of wood slats originating in or exported from Mexico has caused injury to the domestic wood slat industry.
