Expiry Review Initiation

Expiry Review No.: RR-2009-003
Refined Sugar

February 18, 2010

On February 17, 2010, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act, initiated an expiry review of its orders made on November 2, 2005, in Expiry Review No. RR-2004-007, concerning the dumping of refined sugar, refined from sugar cane or sugar beets, in granulated, liquid and powdered form, originating in or exported from the United States of America, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and the subsidizing of refined sugar, refined from sugar cane or sugar beets, in granulated, liquid and powdered form, originating in or exported from the European Union.

As a result, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency initiated an investigation on February 18, 2010, to determine whether the expiry of the orders is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the goods.

Questions relating to the expiry review should be addressed to:
