CBSA INVESTIGATING STEEL STRAPPING
DUMPING OF STEEL STRAPPING FROM CHINA, KOREA, TÜRKIYE & VIETNAM
On May 12, 2025, the Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”) issued a Notice of Initiation of Investigation under the Special Import Measures Act (“SIMA”) in respect of the alleged dumping of certain steel strapping originating in or exported from China, Korea, Türkiye and Vietnam. This investigation was prompted by a complaint filed by JEM Strapping Systems Inc., a manufacturer located in Ontario.
This investigation continues a broader trend of increased scrutiny on foreign steel products. Just last month, the CBSA and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the “CITT”) launched investigations into potential dumping of steel wire, which we wrote about here.
