Canada Initiates Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations on U.S. Grain Corn
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has initiated, pursuant to Canada's Special Import Measures Act, an antidumping and countervailing duty investigation on grain corn in all forms, excluding seed corn (for reproductive purposes), sweet corn and popping corn, from the U.S.
CBSA's investigation follows receipt of petitions filed by the Ontario Corn Producers' Association, the Federation des producteurs de cultures commerciales du Quebec and the Manitoba Corn Growers Association Inc. The petitions alleged that the dumping and subsidizing of grain corn is harming Canadian production by causing price erosion, price suppression, decreased incomes, increased burdens on government support programs and reduced acreage planted.
The CBSA will now investigate whether the imports are being dumped or subsidized and will make a decision by December 15, 2005. While the CBSA is conducting its investigation, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will begin a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the imports are harming the Canadian producers. The CITT will issue a decision by November 15, 2005.
