Commerce Provokes Canada With Bombardier Decision
Written by Sandy Williams
The U.S. Department of Commerce announced on Wednesday antidumping and countervailing duties of almost 300 percent on Canadian Bombardier C Series planes that are shipped to the U.S, setting up potential retaliation by Canada.
In its final determination, Commerce set an antidumping duty rate of 79.82 percent and a CVD rate of 212.39 percent. Boeing claims that the Bombardier planes are sold at unfairly low prices in the U.S. due to subsidization by the Canadian government, resulting in injury to Boeing.
