Notice of initiation of administrative review: Whole potatoes (POT 2025 UP1)
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated an administrative review of the normal values and export prices of certain whole potatoes originating in or exported from the United States of America for use or consumption in the province of British Columbia.
The administrative review is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) order issued on June 2, 2021.
The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT’s order are available on the CBSA’s Measures in force.
Normal values established during this administrative review will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after the date of the conclusion of the administrative review; normal values currently in place will expire on that date. Normal values determined on the basis of the administrative review will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of the review.
Exporters that wish to participate in this administrative review are required to provide a complete and accurate response to the CBSA’s request for information (RFI) by April 7, 2025. An exporter will be considered cooperative if the requested information is submitted on time and the exporter permits verification of the data. A detailed schedule for the administrative review is available.
In the event that the information provided to the CBSA by parties to the administrative review is insufficient, the normal value and export price will be determined in such a manner as the Minister specifies.
Exporters that are not the producer of the subject goods (e.g. trading companies, vendors, etc.) will receive normal values only to the extent that their suppliers/producers provide sufficient information to permit the determination of normal values, export prices.
Please note that, for the current administrative review, the CBSA is contacting known and potential exporters. Any importers or exporters who wish to provide a response to the RFI are advised to contact the SIMA Registry to obtain a copy. It is suggested that importers contact their exporter(s) to determine if the exporter(s) intends/intend to cooperate with the CBSA in the administrative review.
Responses to the Importer RFI are due by March 20, 2025. Importers are cautioned that new normal values, when issued, may be higher than those currently in effect and that this could result in additional assessments of anti dumping duties. Importers are also cautioned that unless an exporter cooperates in the administrative review and receives specific normal values at its conclusion, subsequent imports of subject goods from that exporter will be assessed anti dumping duties based on the ministerial specifications indicated above.
All parties are cautioned that where there are increases in domestic prices, and/or costs, the export price for sales to Canada should be increased accordingly to ensure that any sale made to Canada is not only above the normal value but at or above selling prices and full costs and profit of the goods in the exporter’s domestic market. If exporters did not adjust export prices accordingly, retroactive assessments of anti-dumping duty may be warranted.
