Expiry Review No.: RR-2014-006
Refined Sugar

Ottawa, June 18, 2015

On February 18, 2015, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its orders made on November 1, 2010, in Inquiry No. RR-2009-003, as amended by its order made on September 28, 2012, in Expiry Review No. RR-2009-003R, concerning the dumping of refined sugar, refined from sugar cane or sugar beets, in granulated, liquid and powdered form (refined sugar), originating in or exported from the United States of America, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and the subsidizing of refined sugar originating in or exported from the European Union (EU).

As a result of the CITT's expiry review, on February 19, 2015, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (President) initiated an expiry review investigation to determine whether the expiry of the orders is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the goods.

The investigation has now been completed and today, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, the President has determined that the expiry of the orders:

  1. is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of refined sugar originating in or exported from the United States of America, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and
  2. is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of subsidizing of refined sugar originating in or exported from the European Union.

A Statement of Reasons that contains additional details concerning the determination made by the President will be issued within 15 days. The Statement of Reasons will be posted on the Canada Border Services Agency's Web site at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/er-rre/menu-eng.html.

The CITT will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of its orders is likely to result in injury or retardation to the Canadian industry, and has announced that it will issue its decision no later than October 30, 2015.
