Notice of extension of investigations: Steel Racks (RACK 2026 IN)

July 17, 2026

The Canada Border Services Agency has today extended the preliminary phase of the investigations respecting the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of steel racks originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.

The Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) provides that, under normal circumstances, the preliminary stage of the investigations shall be completed within 90 days of the date of initiation. However, due to the variety of goods involved and the difficulty of obtaining satisfactory evidence in the investigations, the period has been extended to 135 days, pursuant to subsection 39(1) of SIMA.

Consequently, the decision to issue preliminary determinations or to terminate the investigations with respect to some or all of the goods will be made on or before September 2, 2026. A revised investigation schedule is now available.
