According to a report, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (TRAV), under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, announced that the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) had issued its final determination in the anti-dumping (AD) investigation concerning steel strapping imports from multiple countries, including Vietnam.

For the sole Vietnamese company currently exporting steel strapping to Canada and cooperating in the investigation, the CBSA determined that no dumping had occurred for Sam Hwan Vina Co., Ltd. and therefore imposed no anti-dumping duties. However, other Vietnamese exporters faced a duty rate of 25.3%, applied on the basis of available facts.

The CBSA further concluded that steel strapping from other exporters and countries continued to be dumped, with duties reaching as high as 47.9%. In addition, products originating from China were found to be subsidized, resulting in a countervailing duty of CNY0.44 per kg.

The investigation was launched in May 2025 due to the domestic company JEM Strapping Systems Inc. filing the complaint. The dumping investigation period was from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) is currently reviewing the case to see the potential injury to the domestic industry. A decision is expected by January 14, 2026, with further details to be outlined in the Statement of Reasons, scheduled for release within 15 days.
