Anti-dumping re-investigation concerning bicycles and frames from Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China
On March 8, 2004, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated a re-investigation to update the normal values and export prices of bicycles and frames from Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (China) being exported to Canada. Normal values generally reflect the selling prices of the goods in the exporter's domestic market.
Anti-dumping measures have been in place on these goods since the Canadian International Trade Tribunal's injury finding of December 11, 1992, which was renewed on December 10, 1997 and again on December 9, 2002. Since China was considered to be a non-market economy in the past, normal values for Chinese exporters previously were established based on costs or prices of bicycles sold in a third-country (i.e., a "surrogate" country) that has a market economy.
Under the Special Import Measures Act, the CBSA only examines the extent of control, if any, that the Chinese government has over the domestic price of the goods under investigation.
