The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) recently initiated an investigation into the potential circumvention of Canada’s trade remedy measures on container chassis imported from Vietnam, according to the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (TRAV).
The investigation will seek to examine whether container chassis imported from Vietnam are circumventing a Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) finding on the dumping and subsidizing of container chassis from China. The investigation period was from October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2024.
The allegation, made by Max-Atlas International Inc. of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, suggests that key components originating in China are being used in order to assemble or complete these goods in Vietnam, thereby potentially avoiding duties applied under the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).
In line with the regulations, the CBSA will move to issue a final conclusion within 180 days from the date of initiating the investigation. However, in the event of an extension, the case can last for up to 240 days.
This marks Canada's first anti-circumvention investigation into goods imported from Vietnam. Therefore, the TRAV recommended that related enterprises learn about Canada's investigation procedures, provide all information requested by the CBSA, and fully co-operate with the Canadian investigating agency, as well as keeping in contact with the TRAV for timely support.
