Resumption of Duties Concerning the Dumping of Refined Sugar From the United States of America, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and the Subsidizing of Refined Sugar From the European Union

1. On November 1, 2010, in Expiry Review No. RR-2009-003R, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal) continued its order in respect of the dumping of refined sugar, refined from sugar cane or sugar beets, in granulated, liquid and powered form (refined sugar), originating in or exported from the United States of America and rescinded its order in respect of the dumping of refined sugar originating in or exported from Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and the subsidizing of refined sugar originating in or exported from the European Union.

2. On June 18, 2012, further to a judgment of the Federal Court of Appeal which set aside the November 10, 2010 Tribunal order concerning European sugar, the Tribunal recommenced the expiry review of its order in respect of the dumping of refined sugar originating in or exported from Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and the subsidizing of refined sugar originating in or exported from the European Union.

3. On September 28, 2012, the Tribunal, having reconsidered the matter, continued its order in respect of the dumping of refined sugar originating in or exported from Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and the subsidizing of refined sugar originating in or exported from the European Union. As a result, the Canada Border Services Agency will now impose anti-dumping and/or countervailing duty on imports of European sugar retroactive to November 1, 2010.
