Canada lifts anti-dumping tax for Vietnamese shoes
VGP – Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CIIT) has recently made the final decision on anti-dumping tax imposed on waterproof rubber-soled shoes from Việt Nam, said the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

According to CIIT’s adjudication, imported shoes, originating from Việt Nam and China, have not caused remarkable damage to the Canadian domestic footwear industry.
Therefore, Canada will no longer apply anti-dumping tax to Việt Nam’s waterproof rubber-soled shoes and will refund anti-dumping tax paid by Vietnamese enterprises in the preliminary investigations.
Earlier, on September 10, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) affirmed that Vietnamese enterprises dumped their waterproof rubber-soled shoes exported to Canada.
Under the CBSA’s decision, Vietnamese enterprises cooperating and not cooperating with Canadian investigators were imposed the anti-dumping tax rates of 12.8% and 32.4% respectively.
In Canada, either CIIT or CBS has competent authorities to investigate and decide anti-dumping cases. If one of them rejects the charges, the cases will end.
