On December 17, 2020, pursuant to subsection 31(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated investigations into the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of certain grinding media from India.
The subject goods are usually imported under the following tariff classification numbers:
- 7325.91.00.10
- 7325.91.00.90
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will conduct a preliminary inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry. The CITT will make a decision within 60 days of the date of initiation. If the CITT concludes that the evidence does not disclose a reasonable indication of injury, the investigations will be terminated.
Information
The full product definition is found on the CBSA website.
The Statement of Reasons regarding the decisions will be issued within 15 days following the decisions and will be available on the CBSA’s website or by contacting the SIMA Registry and Disclosure Unit by telephone at 613‑948‑4605 or by email at [email protected].
Representations
