July 27, 2007 – The President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has determined that there is likely to be a continuation or resumption of dumping of bicycles from the People’s Republic of China and Chinese Taipei into Canada.

A Statement of Reasons containing additional details concerning the determination made by the President will be issued within fifteen days. As a result of the CBSA finding the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will now formally commence its inquiry.

As one of the first steps the CITT typically issues an industry questionnaire. BTAC will notify its members when this happens as part of its ongoing communications regarding the CITT process.

BTAC will work with its members to ensure that the CITT has a complete understanding of the dynamics of the Canadian bicycle sector and market affected by the current system of dumping duties.
