Previously, on December 21, 2020, the CBSA initiated an anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigation into upholstered chairs from China and Vietnam. The goods under investigation in this case are upholstered chairs for household use with HS codes 9401.40; 9401.61 and 9401.71. The investigation period (POI) in this case was determined by the CBSA to be from June 1, 2019 to November 30, 2020.

By August 2021, the CBSA had issued its final conclusions on the anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations into upholstered chairs originating from Vietnam and China.

For Vietnam, among the eight companies participating in the investigation, only one was subject to a 3.7% countervailing duty, while the remaining companies were not. The countervailing duty rate for companies that did not cooperate was 5.5%.

Regarding the dumping allegations, in the final conclusion, most cooperating businesses had their dumping margins significantly reduced, resulting in average duties ranging from 10-20% compared to the initial preliminary levels of 20-90%. Meanwhile, the duties for non-cooperating businesses reached 179.5%.

According to Canadian data, during the investigation period from June 2019 to the end of September 2020, exports of upholstered chairs from Vietnam to Canada reached approximately US$135.6 million, accounting for 10.08% of Canada's total imports of this item.

This is an item with a significant increase in exports and had been included in the early warning list by the Trade Remedies Department beforehand.
