The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) has conducted an inquiry into whether the dumping and subsidizing of polyethylene terephthalate resin (PET resin) having an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.70 deciliters per gram but not more than 0.88 deciliters per gram, including PET resin that contains various additives introduced in the manufacturing process, as well as blends of virgin PET resin and recycled PET containing 50 percent or more virgin PET resin content by weight, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China), the Republic of India (India), the Sultanate of Oman (Oman) and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Pakistan), have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry.
The Tribunal finds that the volumes of subsidized goods originating in or exported from Oman and Pakistan are negligible. As such, the Tribunal hereby terminates its inquiry regarding the subsidizing of the above-mentioned goods originating in or exported from Oman and Pakistan.
Further to the Tribunal’s inquiry, and following the issuance by the President of the Canada Border Services Agency of a final determination dated February 14, 2018, that the above-mentioned goods originating in or exported from China and India have been dumped and subsidized, and that the above‑mentioned goods originating in or exported from Oman and Pakistan have been dumped, the Tribunal hereby finds, pursuant to subsection 43(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, that the dumping and subsidizing of the above-mentioned goods originating in or exported from China and India, and the dumping of the above-mentioned goods originating in or exported from Oman and Pakistan, have not caused injury and are not threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry.
The findings are available on the Canadian International Trade Tribunal website.
