The Tribunal’s preliminary injury inquiry was conducted pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act as a result of the initiation of a dumping investigation by the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The CBSA will continue its investigation and, by November 17, 2016, will issue a preliminary determination.
