Tribunal Issues Determination of Reasonable Indication of Injury—Paperboard Cups and Containers from China

October 19, 2026

Further to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s preliminary injury inquiry (PI-2026-004), the Tribunal determined that there is a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of paperboard cups and containers from the People’s Republic of China have caused injury to the domestic industry.

The Tribunal’s inquiry was conducted pursuant to the Special Import Measures Act as a result of the initiation of dumping and subsidizing investigations by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and a preliminary injury inquiry by the Tribunal. The CBSA will continue its investigations and, by November 16, 2026, will issue preliminary determinations.
