Ottawa,
On September 15, 2025, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(a) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made final determinations of dumping with respect to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China) and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Pakistan), and of subsidizing of PET resin originating in or exported from China.
The subject goods are usually classified under the tariff classification numbers:

- 3907.69.00.10
- 3907.69.00.80
- 3907.69.00.90
The above-listed tariff classifications cover both subject and non-subject goods and are for convenience of reference only. Refer to the product definition for authoritative details regarding the subject goods.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will continue its inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry and will issue its decision by October 15, 2025. Provisional duties will continue to be imposed on the subject goods from China and Pakistan until the CITT renders its decision.
Additional information about these investigations is contained in a Statement of Reasons, which will be available within 15 days.
For additional information regarding the application of provisional duties on subject goods imported into Canada, please refer to the CBSA’s Measures in force.

Note The margins of dumping reported in the table above are the margins determined by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for purposes of the final determination of dumping. These margins do not reflect the anti-dumping duty to be levied on future importations of dumped goods. In the event of an injury finding by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, normal values have been provided to the exporters which provided sufficient information for future shipments to Canada and these normal values would come into effect the day after the injury finding. Information regarding normal values of the subject goods should be obtained from the exporter. Imports of subject goods from exporters/producers that did not provide sufficient information to the CBSA during the dumping investigation and who are not listed in the table above will be subject to the All Other Exporters anti-dumping duty rate pursuant to a ministerial specification. As reported in the table above, the amounts of subsidy (as a percentage of export price) are the amounts determined by the CBSA for purposes of the final determination of subsidizing. These amounts do not reflect the countervailing duty to be levied on future importations of subsidized goods originating in or exported from China, which will be based on the specific amounts of subsidy (Chinese yuan per kilogram), converted into Canadian dollars. Normally, normal values will not be applied retroactively. However, normal values may be applied retroactively in cases where the exporter does not adjust export prices to account for increases in domestic prices and/or costs, or the parties have not advised the CBSA in a timely manner of substantial changes that affect values for SIMA purposes. Therefore, where substantial changes occur in prices, market conditions, costs associated with production and sales of the goods, the onus is on the concerned parties to increase the export price 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, and advise the CBSA of any substantial changes. |
