The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced it has extended the preliminary phase of the investigation respecting the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of truck bodies originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.
Under normal circumstances, the preliminary stage of these types of investigations shall be completed within 90 days of the date of initiation. However, due to the complexity or novelty of issues presented, the variety of goods involved, and the difficulty in obtaining satisfactory evidence in the investigations, the period has been extended to 135 days.
The decision to issue preliminary determinations or to terminate the investigations with respect to some or all of the goods will be made on or before March 6, 2026.
