On March 22, 2024, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced a review of the anti-dumping and countervailing duties on upholstered seating originating from Vietnam and China.
This review is being conducted at the request of an importer and is part of the ruling by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) issued on September 2, 2021, for the original investigation conducted in 2020. Details of the original case can be found at: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/mif-mev/uds-eng.html
In this review, exporters wishing to participate must submit a complete response to the CBSA’s request by 5:00 PM (ET) on April 29, 2024. This submission will allow the CBSA to reassess (i) normal values and export prices to adjust anti-dumping duties, and (ii) subsidy margins to adjust countervailing duties for each company. In the absence of cooperation, the CBSA may use available information to make determinations.
For the normal value review, the CBSA has published the investigation schedule as follows:

Due to the simultaneous anti-dumping and countervailing investigations, both the government and relevant enterprises need to respond to the CBSA’s questionnaire requirements (enterprises must respond to both the anti-dumping and countervailing duty questionnaires). To effectively manage the review, the TRA recommends the following for enterprises:
- Fully and comprehensively cooperate with the Canadian investigation authorities; contact the CBSA to request all questionnaires relevant to the enterprise.
- Regularly visit the CBSA and TRA websites to update information and documents related to the case; maintain contact with the TRA for timely support.
