Duty liability (anti-dumping duties)

Country of origin or export: China

No exporters in China received normal values in the most recent re-investigation CBSA notice of conclusion of re-investigation.

For importations of subject goods produced or exported from China for which the exporter has not been issued normal values, the anti-dumping duty is equal to 80.2% of the export price.
