Canada Border Services Agency Dec 13, 2016

On December 5, 2016, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made a final determination of dumping with respect to certain gypsum board originating in or exported from the United States of America (US), imported into Canada for use or consumption in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories (Western Canada). See Appendix 1 for results.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) is continuing its inquiry into the question of injury to the Western Canadian industry and will make an order or a finding by January 4, 2017.

The CITT is also examining the question of public interest and is required to render a decision by January 4, 2017.

Provisional duties will continue to apply on imports of subject goods from the US until the date of the CITT’s order or finding.

MARGINS OF DUMPING BY EXPORTER

NOTE: The margins of dumping reported in the table above are the margins determined by the CBSA for purposes of the final determination of dumping. These margins do not reflect the amount of anti-dumping duty to be levied on future importations of dumped goods. In the event of an injury finding by the CITT, normal values have been provided to the exporters which provided sufficient information for future shipments to Canada and these normal values would come into effect the day after an injury finding. Imports from exporters/producers that did not provide sufficient information to the CBSA during the dumping and who are not listed in the table above will be subject to the All Other Exporters anti-dumping duty rate of 324.1%, expressed as a percentage of the export price. Please consult the SIMA Self-Assessment Guide for more detailed information explaining how to determine the amount of SIMA duties owing.
