At the beginning of October, PPG Canada, Inc. said it will not appeal the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) decision regarding dumped Chinese automotive replacement glass windshields. On 31 July, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency found that almost 50% of Chinese windshields were dumped with a weighted average margin of dumping of more than 20%. On 30 August, the CITT concluded that the dumping of Chinese windshields has not caused material injury and is not threatening to cause material injury to PPG and the Canadian industry. Although the US recently imposed antidumping duties on Chinese windshields, and Canadian imports of Chinese windshields tripled between 1999 and 2001, the CITT accepted the evidence of Chinese exporters who argued that increased windshield sales in China would limit their capacity to increase their exports to Canada.
