Certain 54-inch Gypsum Board - Termination of Investigation

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) determined that the evidence does not disclose a reasonable indication that the dumping of certain 54-inch gypsum board from the US, imported into Canada for use or consumption in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories (collectively “Western Canada”) has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry and has terminated the preliminary injury inquiry with respect to certain 54-inch gypsum board from the US.

Consequently, the Canada Border Services Agency terminated the investigation of dumping in respect of certain 54-inch gypsum board from the US, effective August 21, 2018.
