Duty liability (Provisional anti-dumping andd countervailing duties)

Country of origin or export: China

Provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duties are payable on subject goods that are released from the CBSA during the period commencing July 22, 2024, and ending on the earlier of the day the dumping and subsidy investigations are terminated, the day on which the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) makes an order or finding, or the day an undertaking is accepted.

The following table identifies the exporters who currently have specific rates of provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duties:

  1. 1Expressed as a percentage of the export price
  2. 2The amount of subsidy estimated for Yantai T.Full Biotech Co., Ltd. is below 1% of the export price and was, therefore, determined to be insignificant. As a result, the investigation will continue in respect of these goods but provisional countervailing duty will not be imposed on subject goods imported into Canada from this exporter during the provisional period

For importations of subject goods for which the exporter has not been issued specific rates, the rates of anti-dumping and countervailing duties are equal to:

Estimated margins of dumping, amount of subsidy and provisional duties

Information regarding the normal value and amount of subsidy of the subject goods in question and the amount of anti-dumping and countervailing duty payable should be obtained from the exporter. Related information may be made available to importers on a need-to-know basis in accordance with the provisions of Memorandum D14-1-2: Disclosure of Normal Values, Export Prices, and Amounts of Subsidy Established Under the Special Import Measures Act to importers.
