Canada: AD and CVD investigations of wall modules imported from China
Description
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) terminated its investigation of certain unitized wall modules, with or without infill, including fully assembled frames, with or without fasteners, trims, cover caps, window operators, gaskets, load transfer bars, sunshades and anchor assemblies, originating in or exported from China as of September 17, 2012. The agency had initiated investigations on July 16, 2012 respecting the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of these products. The investigations followed a complaint filed on May 24, 2012, by several firms located in British Columbia and Ontario.
