Tribunal Finds Injury—Truck Bodies from China

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) has concluded its inquiry (NQ 2025-009) into the dumping of certain truck bodies originating from or exported by China. The Tribunal found that this dumping has caused injury to the domestic industry in Canada. This decision means that measures will be implemented to address the unfair trade practice.

As a result of the CITT's finding, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will now collect anti-dumping and countervailing duties on these specific truck bodies. These duties are intended to offset the price advantage gained by the dumped goods, thereby protecting Canadian manufacturers from unfair competition.

This ruling is significant for professionals involved in importing, manufacturing, or distributing commercial vehicles in Canada. It directly impacts the cost and availability of truck bodies from China and reinforces the Canadian government's commitment to fair trade practices. Businesses should review their supply chains and financial forecasts to account for these new duties.

The complainants in this case were Morgan Canada Corporation, based in Bolton, Ontario, and Morgan Transit Corporation, located in Laval, Québec. Their actions brought this issue to the CITT's attention, leading to this protective measure for the Canadian industry.
