CBSA Launches Investigation into Alleged Circumvention of Trade Remedy Measures by Container Chassis from Vietnam

November 25, 2024

Ottawa, ON – The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has initiated an investigation into the alleged circumvention of trade remedy measures on container chassis originating in or exported from Vietnam.

This investigation follows a complaint filed by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) on behalf of Trail King Industries Canada ULC, a domestic manufacturer of container chassis.

Container chassis are trailers designed to carry intermodal containers, which are used to transport goods by ship, rail, and truck. They are commonly used in the transportation of goods across borders.

In 2021, the CBSA imposed definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties on container chassis from Vietnam following an investigation that found that these products were being dumped and subsidized by the Vietnamese government.

The complaint to the CITT alleged that certain Vietnamese exporters are circumventing these measures by exporting chassis to Canada through third countries, such as Mexico or the United States. This practice, known as transshipment, allows exporters to avoid paying the duties imposed on direct shipments from Vietnam.

The CBSA investigation will examine whether there is evidence of transshipment or other forms of circumvention. The agency will also determine whether the alleged circumvention has caused or threatened to cause injury to the domestic industry.

During the investigation, the CBSA will collect information from importers, exporters, producers, and other interested parties. The agency may also conduct site visits and request documentation to support its findings.

The results of the investigation are expected to be released within 90 days. If the CBSA determines that circumvention is taking place, it may recommend that the CITT take action to address the issue, such as imposing additional duties.

The CBSA encourages all stakeholders affected by the investigation to participate and provide relevant information. Importers of container chassis from Vietnam are advised to keep accurate records of their transactions in case they are required to provide information to the CBSA.
