Canadian Tribunal Reviews Chinese Aluminum Imports
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has commenced an expiry review concerning aluminum extrusions imported from China. This review, initiated on November 25, 2024, aims to assess whether the termination of the current order could lead to the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing these products, potentially harming the domestic industry. The original order was established on January 13, 2020, under review RR-2018-008.
The Canada Border Services Agency is expected to decide by April 24, 2025, on the likelihood of resumed or continued dumping and subsidizing. Should the agency determine a positive likelihood, the Tribunal will then decide by October 1, 2025, if such actions would likely injure the domestic industry.
The Tribunal functions as an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It handles cases related to dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, federal government procurement complaints, and customs and excise tax rulings appeals. Additionally, it provides advice on economic, trade, and tariff matters when requested by the federal government.
Interested parties, including individuals, associations, or governments, are invited to participate in the review process by submitting a Notice of Participation form.
