Therefore, the Tribunal terminated its inquiry regarding the dumping of the above-mentioned goods originating in or exported from South Korea and Vietnam. The Tribunal also found that the dumping of the above-mentioned goods originating in or exported from the Republic of Türkiye, and the dumping and subsidizing of those goods originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, have caused injury to the domestic industry. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties will therefore be collected by the Canada Border Services Agency. The complainant in this case was JEM Strapping Systems Inc. of Brantford, Ontario.
