Tribunal Finds Injury—Thermal Paper Rolls from China

Ottawa, Ontario, January 8, 2026—Further to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s inquiry (NQ‑2025‑004), the Tribunal today found that the dumping and subsidizing of thermal paper rolls, originating in or exported from China, have caused injury to the domestic industry. Anti‑dumping and countervailing duties will therefore be collected by the Canada Border Services Agency. The complainants in this case were McDermid Paper Converters Limited of Markham, Ontario, Media Cash Register Inc. of Saint Laurent, Québec, and Custom Paper Ltd. of Richmond, British Columbia.

The Tribunal will issue the reasons for its finding on January 23, 2026.

The Tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It hears cases on dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, complaints about federal government procurement and appeals of customs and excise tax rulings. When requested by the federal government, the Tribunal also provides advice on other economic, trade and tariff matters.
