The review is carried out under the request of the importer and is also a part of the conclusion of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) issued on September 2, 2021 for the original investigation conducted in 2020.
Accordingly, the exporter needs to provide a complete response as requested by CBSA before 5:00 pm (ET) April 29, 2024.
This is the basis for CBSA to consider adjusting existing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy taxes for businesses of China and Việt Nam. If not receiving cooperation from the relevant parties, CBSA may use available evidence to make decisions.
In 2021, the CBSA made a final determination in its investigation into the dumping and subsidising of certain upholstered seating from China and Việt Nam.
Accordingly, out of eight Vietnamese enterprises that co-operated in the investigation, only one is subject to the anti-subsidy tax of 3.7 per cent and the rest will avoid this tax. The anti-subsidy tax rate for non-cooperating businesses is 5.5 per cent.
Regarding the anti-dumping investigation, in the CBSA’s final conclusion, most enterprises that co-operated in the investigation receive duty rates ranging from 10 to 20 per cent, compared to preliminary levels of 20-90 per cent.
The duty rate for those who didn’t cooperate in the investigation is up to 179.5 per cent. Meanwhile, Chinese enterprises are subject to anti-subsidy tax from 1.1 to 81.1 per cent and anti-dumping duty of between 9.3 and 188 per cent.
