CBSA launches investigations into the alleged dumping and subsidizing of renewable diesel from the United States

The CBSA has announced that it is initiating investigations to determine whether imports of renewable diesel from the United States are being dumped and subsidized.

A complaint filed with the CBSA by Tidewater Renewables alleges that as a result of an increase in the volume of the dumped and subsidized imports from the U.S., they have suffered material injury in the form of lost market share, lost sales, price undercutting, price depression, reduced profitability, and negative impact on cash flow, return on investment and ability to raise capital.

Currently, there are 158 special import measures in force in Canada, covering a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. These measures have directly helped to protect approximately 31,000 Canadian jobs and $11.6 billion in Canadian production.
