In an update published on July 29, 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced its preliminary determination regarding the dumping and subsidizing of unarmoured building cables (UBC) originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China.

This investigation was conducted pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA). As part of the preliminary findings, the CBSA determined that certain UBC imports from China were dumped and subsidized in the Canadian market. As a result, provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duties became effective on July 29, 2026, for the affected products.
