Ottawa, Ontario, November 1, 2010—The Canadian International Trade Tribunal today issued orders following the expiry review of its orders made on November 2, 2005, in Expiry Review No. RR-2004-007, concerning the dumping of refined sugar from the United States, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and the subsidizing of refined sugar from the European Union.
The Tribunal found that the expiry of the order concerning the dumping of refined sugar from the United States would likely cause injury to the domestic industry. The Canada Border Services Agency will therefore continue to impose anti-dumping duties on these products.

The Tribunal also found that the expiry of the order concerning the dumping of refined sugar from Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and the subsidizing of refined sugar from the European Union would not likely cause injury to the domestic industry. The Canada Border Services Agency will therefore not continue to impose anti-dumping and countervailing duties on these products.

The Tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It hears cases on dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, complaints about federal government procurement and appeals of customs and excise tax rulings. When requested by the federal government, the Tribunal also provides advice on other economic, trade and tariff matters.
