What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal rescinded trade remedy measures on certain photovoltaic (PV) modules and laminates from China, concluding a review that had been ongoing for over a decade. The tribunal announced on September 17 that it rescinded the order made on March 25, 2021, concerning the dumping and subsidizing of these products. Consequently, the Canada Border Services Agency will no longer impose anti-dumping and countervailing duties on these items.
