The Canadian International Trade Tribunal reported a preliminary injury determination on October 16, 2026 in inquiry PI-2026-004 concerning paperboard cups and containers imported from China. The tribunal found a reasonable indication that alleged dumping and subsidization have injured Canadian production, which permits the trade-remedy investigation to continue. Canada Border Services Agency investigations remain underway, with preliminary determinations expected by November 16. Canadian importers and suppliers shouldn't mistake this procedural finding for a final duty, final injury finding or a completed determination of dumping or subsidizing.
