In October 2017, CBSA announced that it was launching an investigation into certain copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from Vietnam. The agency investigated whether these are being sold at unfair prices in Canada and whether subsidies are being applied to certain copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from Vietnam. The CBSA said that the investigations are the result of a complaint filed by Cello Products Inc (Cello) of Cambridge, Ontario. The complainant alleges that as a result of price undercutting from Vietnam, Cello faced loss in sales and market share, resulting in negative financial results, reduced production and employment. Vietnam’s copper pipe fittings under investigation were coded 7412.10.00.11, 7412.10.00.19, 7412.10.00.90 and 7412.20.00.11, as well as 7412.20.00.12, 7412.20.00.19 and 7412.20.00.90.
