Anti-Dumping Measures For Western Provinces Maintained for Another 5 Years

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CertainTeed Canada Inc. welcomes the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s decision to maintain anti-dumping measures for drywall in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories for another five years.

The ruling applies to gypsum board meeting or supplied to meet ASTM C 1396 or ASTM C 1396M or equivalent standards, excluding gypsum board made to a width of 54 inches.
