Tribunal opens injury inquiry into wheat gluten imports
Canada’s trade tribunal will examine whether dumped wheat gluten from Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom has harmed or threatens domestic producers.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has opened a final injury inquiry into wheat gluten imported from Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom.
The inquiry follows a preliminary dumping determination by the Canada Border Services Agency. The tribunal will decide whether the imports have caused injury, threatened injury or slowed the establishment of Canadian production.
Decision due January 15
The tribunal expects to issue its determination on January 15, 2027. Interested people, industry associations and governments may participate by filing a notice with the tribunal.
Opening the inquiry does not establish that domestic producers have been injured. It begins the evidence-gathering and adjudication stage following the border agency’s preliminary finding.
