CBSA initiates dumping and subsidy investigations into truck and bus tires from China
The Canada Border Services Agency initiated investigations on August 31, 2026 into whether truck and bus tires from producers operating in or exporting from China are being dumped, subsidized, or both, following a complaint by the Canadian Retread Manufacturers Association and Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. The CITT will begin a preliminary injury inquiry and issue a decision by October 30, 2026, while the CBSA will make preliminary decisions by November 30, 2026. The complainants allege material injury including price undercutting, lost sales and reduced profitability.
Why it matters: Importers of truck and bus tires from China face a CBSA preliminary determination by November 30, 2026 and a CITT injury decision by October 30, 2026, after which provisional duties may apply.
