CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY

SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Certain upholstered domestic seating — Decisions

On May 5, 2021, pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made preliminary determinations of dumping and subsidizing concerning certain upholstered domestic seating originating in or exported from China and Vietnam.

The subject goods are usually imported under the following tariff classification numbers:

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will conduct a full inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry and will make an order or finding not later than 120 days after its receipt of the notice of the preliminary determinations of dumping and subsidizing.

Pursuant to section 8 of SIMA, provisional duty is payable on subject goods that are released from the CBSA during the period commencing on May 5, 2021, and ending on the earlier of the day the investigation is terminated, the day on which the CITT makes an order or finding, or the day an undertaking is accepted. Where margins of dumping and/or amounts of subsidy are considered insignificant, the investigations will continue, but provisional duties will not be collected. The investigations schedule can be viewed on the CBSA website.

The amount of provisional duties payable is not greater than the estimated margin of dumping and the estimated amount of subsidy. The Customs Act applies with respect to the accounting and payment of provisional duties. Therefore, failure to pay duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Customs Act.

Information

The Statement of Reasons regarding these decisions will be issued within 15 days following the decisions and will be available on the CBSA website or by contacting Kevin Lambertsen at 613‑954‑7341.

The subject goods are usually imported under the following tariff classification numbers:

In some instances, the subject goods may also be imported under the following tariff classification numbers:

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) inquiry into the question of injury to the domestic industry is continuing and the CITT will issue its finding by June 4, 2021. Provisional duty will continue to be imposed on the subject goods from Algeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam, until the CITT renders its finding.

If the CITT finds that the dumping has caused injury or is threatening to cause injury, anti-dumping duty will be applied to future importations of the subject goods. In that event, the importer in Canada shall pay such duty.

The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping duty.

Information

The Statement of Reasons regarding this decision will be issued within 15 days following the decision and will be available on the CBSA website.
