IN THE MATTER OF a preliminary injury inquiry, pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act, respecting:

RENEWABLE DIESEL

PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF INJURY

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), has conducted a preliminary injury inquiry into whether there is evidence that discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of liquid fuel derived solely from biomass through hydrogenation, that meets ASTM Standard D975 or D396 or similar, commonly known as “renewable diesel” or hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel or “HDRD”, whether or not blended with other substances, originating in or exported from the United States of America (the subject goods), have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA.

This preliminary injury inquiry follows the notification, on March 6, 2025, that the President of the Canada Border Services Agency had initiated investigations into the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods.

Pursuant to paragraph 35(1)(b) of SIMA, the Tribunal concludes that the evidence does not disclose a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury. Therefore, pursuant to paragraph 35(3)(a) of SIMA, the Tribunal terminates the preliminary injury inquiry with respect to the subject goods.

The statement of reasons will be issued at a later date.
