CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

COMMENCEMENT OF PRELIMINARY INJURY INQUIRY

Mattress innerspring units

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on April 27, 2009, from the Director General of the Trade Programs Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), stating that the President of the CBSA had initiated an investigation into a complaint respecting the alleged injurious dumping of mattress innerspring units, with or without edge guards, used in the manufacture of innerspring mattresses, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.

Pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated a preliminary injury inquiry (Preliminary Injury Inquiry No. PI-2009-001) to determine whether the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping of the subject goods has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA.

The Tribunal’s inquiry will be conducted by way of written submissions. Each person or government wishing to participate in the inquiry must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before May 13, 2009. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before May 13, 2009.

On May 19, 2009, the Tribunal will distribute the public information received from the CBSA to all parties that have filed notices of participation, and the confidential information to counsel who have filed a declaration and undertaking with the Tribunal.

Submissions by parties opposed to the complaint must be filed on or before May 28, 2009. These submissions should include evidence, e.g. documents and sources that support the factual statements in the submissions, and argument concerning the questions of

• whether there are goods produced in Canada, other than those identified in the CBSA’s statement of reasons for initiating the investigation, that are like goods to the allegedly dumped goods;
• whether there is more than one class of allegedly dumped goods;
• which domestic producers of like goods comprise the domestic industry; and
• whether the information before the Tribunal discloses a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping of the goods has caused injury or retardation, or threatens to cause injury.

The complainant may make submissions in response to the submissions of parties opposed to the complaint by June 5, 2009. At that time, other parties supporting the complaint may also make submissions to the Tribunal.

Parties should note that the Tribunal does not consider exclusion requests during a preliminary injury inquiry and, therefore, none should be filed at this stage. Should the matter proceed to a final inquiry, particulars regarding the schedule for filing exclusion requests will be included in the notice of commencement of inquiry.
