CBSA Investigates the Dumping of Greenhouse Bell Peppers

(Canada NewsWire)

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced today that it is initiating an investigation into the alleged injurious dumping of greenhouse bell peppers originating in or exported from the Netherlands.

The investigation follows a complaint filed by the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) of Leamington, Ontario. The complainant alleges that the dumping of these goods is harming Canadian production by causing the following: lost sales, price erosion, price suppression, reduction in gross margins and reduced profitability.

A copy of the statement of reasons that provides more details about the investigation will be available on the CBSA’s Web site here within 15 days.
