SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Certain decorative and other non-structural plywood — Decision

On September 2, 2020, pursuant to subsection 39(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency extended the preliminary phase of the investigations into the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of certain decorative and other non-structural plywood from China.

SIMA provides that, under normal circumstances, the preliminary stage of the investigations shall be completed within 90 days of the date of initiation. However, due to the complexity and novelty of the issues presented by the investigations, the period has been extended to 135 days, pursuant to subsection 39(1) of SIMA.

Consequently, the decision to issue preliminary determinations of dumping and subsidy or to terminate the investigations with respect to some or all of the goods will be made on or before October 23, 2020.
