Notice of conclusion of administrative review: Whole potatoes (POT 2025 UP2)
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has concluded an administrative review of the normal values and export prices of whole potatoes from the United States of America by Allied Potato Inc. 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 injury finding can be found on the CBSA’s Whole potatoes: Measures in force.
Period of investigation
The period of investigation (POI) and the profitability analysis period (PAP) for the administrative review was the 2024 crop year and the year-to-date portion of the 2025 crop year.
Administrative review process
At the initiation of the administrative review, the CBSA sent a Request for Information (RFI) to all known importers, exporters, producers and vendors to solicit information on the costs and selling prices of subject goods and like goods. The information was requested for purposes of updating the normal values and export prices for subject goods imported into Canada.
Normal values and export prices
Allied Potato Northwest Inc (Allied Potato) is a producer and exporter of subject goods located in Pasco, WA. Allied Potato provided a response to the CBSA’s Dumping RFI. Allied Potato‘s related input supplier also provided a response to the CBSA’s RFI.
Allied Potato had domestic sales of like goods during the PAP and as a result, normal values were determined pursuant to section 15 of SIMA based on the company’s domestic selling prices of whole potatoes in the United States of America.
For subject goods exported to Canada by Allied Potato during the POI, export prices were determined pursuant to section 24 of SIMA, based on the lesser of the exporter’s selling price and the importer’s purchase price, adjusted by deducting the costs, charges and expenses incurred in preparing the goods for shipment to Canada and resulting from the exportation and shipment of the goods.
Exporter responsibility
All parties are cautioned that, where there are increases in domestic prices and/or costs, the export price 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 do not adjust export prices accordingly, retroactive assessments of anti-dumping duties may be warranted. Please refer to the Memorandum D14-1-8: Administrative Review Policy – Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) for details.
Importer responsibility
Importers are reminded that it is their responsibility to declare their anti-dumping and countervailing duty liability. If importers are using the services of a customs broker to clear importations, the brokerage firm should be advised that the goods are subject to anti-dumping and countervailing measures and be provided with sufficient information necessary to clear the shipments. To determine their liability for anti-dumping and countervailing duty, importers should contact the exporters to obtain the applicable normal values and amounts of subsidy. For further information on this matter, refer to Memorandum D14-1-2: Disclosure of normal values, export prices, and amounts of subsidy established under the Special Import Measures Act.
The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping and countervailing duties. As such, failure to pay the duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Act.
Should the importer disagree with the determination made on any importation of goods, a request for re-determination may be filed. For more information on how to file a request for re-determination, please refer to the Guide for appealing a duty assessment.
