OTTAWA, Sept. 21, 2018 /CNW/ - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced today that it is launching an investigation into whether or not certain nitisinone capsules originating in or exported from Sweden are being sold at unfair prices in Canada.
The investigation is the result of a complaint filed by Laboratoires KABS Inc. and its affiliate MendeliKABS Inc. which are both located in Saint-Hubert, Quebec. The complainant (comprised of both companies) alleges that the Canadian industry is facing declines in production, lost sales, reduced profitability, negative returns on investments, underutilization of production capacity and negative effects on growth. The initiation of this investigation does not prevent these goods from being imported into Canada and being made available to users.
Currently, there are 101 special import measures in force, covering a wide variety of products, from steel to refined sugar. These measures have directly helped to protect the Canadian economy and jobs in Canada.
