POT 2020 ER: Whole potatoes
Expiry review determination

Ottawa, December 24, 2020

On July 29, 2020, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its order made on September 25, 2015, in Inquiry No. RR-2014-004, concerning the dumping of certain whole potatoes imported from the United States of America, for use or consumption in the province of British Columbia.

As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, on July 30, 2020, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an expiry review investigation to determine, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, whether the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the subject goods.

The investigation has now been completed and today, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, the CBSA has determined that the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of such goods.

A Statement of Reasons that contains additional details concerning the determinations made by the CBSA will be issued within 15 days and posted on the CBSA’s website.

The CITT will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of its order is likely to result in injury to the Canadian industry, and has announced that issue its decision no later than June 2, 2021.

Questions relating to the CBSA’s determination should be addressed to the following officer:
