On April 20, 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated investigations to determine whether steel racks are being sold at unfair prices in Canada (dumped), subsidized, or both. The investigations focus on imports from producers operating in or exporting from China. These practices can harm Canadian industries by undercutting prices, which undermines fair competition.
The CBSA’s investigations follow a complaint filed by Arpac Storage Systems, Etalex Inc., Industries Cresswell Inc., the Econo-Rack (2015) Group Inc. and North American Steel Equipment Inc. (the complainants). The complainants allege that as a result of an increase in the volume of the dumped and subsidized imports, they have suffered material injury in the form of price erosion and depression, lost sales, as well as adverse impacts on production, capacity utilization, employment and financial performance.
