Canada Customs Confirms Dumping of Leather Footwear from China

Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) confirmed that leather footwear with metal toecaps originating in or exported from China was dumped into Canada at prices of an average of 39.4% below normal price levels. The anti-dumping investigation originated from a complaint by the Shoe Manufacturers’ Association of Canada, which is based in Beaconsfield, Quebec, alleging that the dumping harmed Canadian producers. The decision reaffirms an August 2001 preliminary decision, when CCRA began collecting provisional duties on imports of these products.
