The CBSA launches investigations into the alleged dumping of steel strapping from China, South Korea, Türkiye and Vietnam and its subsidization by China Français
OTTAWA, ON, May 12, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced today that it is initiating investigations to determine whether steel strapping originating in or exported from China, South Korea, Türkiye and Vietnam is being sold at unfair prices in Canada and whether steel strapping originating in or exported from China is being subsidized. These practices can harm Canadian industries by undercutting Canadian prices, which undermines fair competition. The CBSA is investigating because of a complaint filed by JEM Strapping Systems Inc. (JEM). JEM alleges that as a result of an increase in the volume of the dumped and subsidized imports, they have suffered material injury in the form of lost market share, price undercutting, price depression, lost sales, reduced net income and profitability, and reduced employment. The CBSA and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) both play a role in the investigations. The CITT will begin a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the imports are harming Canadian producers and will issue a decision by July 11, 2025. Concurrently, the CBSA will investigate whether the imports are being sold in Canada at unfair prices and/or are being subsidized, and will make a preliminary decision by August 11, 2025. Currently, there are 158 special import measures in force in Canada, covering a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. These measures have directly helped to protect approximately 31,000 Canadian jobs and $11.6 billion in Canadian production. Quick facts Canada's trade remedy system is designed to ensure that imported goods are priced fairly relative to domestic products. To counteract unfair trade practices, the CBSA has the authority under the Special Import Measures Act to initiate investigations if a complaint is properly documented and impose trade remedy measures when there is evidence that dumping or subsidizing is causing or threatens to cause injury to Canadian producers. The subject goods are steel strapping originating in or exported from China, South Korea, Türkiye and Vietnam. For more product information, please refer to the CBSA's Anti-dumping and countervailing webpage. The only Canadian producer of steel strapping is JEM Strapping Systems Inc. (Brantford, ON). The Canadian market of imports for steel strapping has been estimated to be approximately $24 million annually. A statement of reasons, with additional details about the investigation s, will be available on the CBSA's website within 15 days from the date the investigations are launched.
