Canada Launches Antidumping Probe Into Chinese Truck Body Imports

Canada has launched an anti-dumping investigation into truck body imports from China following complaints by Canadian manufacturers Morgan Canada Corp. and Morgan Transit Corp. alleging that dumped and subsidized Chinese imports have undercut prices, decreased bookings, and caused lost sales. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) are jointly conducting the investigation, with preliminary decisions expected by early 2026. This probe comes amid broader trade tensions between Canada and China, as well as between Canada, the U.S., and China, with ongoing disputes involving tariffs on various goods. Canadian officials emphasize that such unfair pricing practices harm domestic industries by undermining fair competition. The investigation targets a sector valued at approximately $327 million annually in Canada, reflecting significant economic stakes for the Canadian truck body industry.
