Canada turns up heat on frozen pizza
Monday, May 17, 2004 Posted: 5:51 PM EDT (2151 GMT)
OTTAWA, Ontario (*******) -- Over the past few years Canada and the United States have argued about bilateral trade in such high-profile commodities as wheat, softwood lumber, cattle and hogs. Now it's frozen self-rising pizza.
Ottawa said on Monday it would slap provisional anti-dumping duties of 39.4 percent on imports of frozen self-rising pizzas made in, or exported from, the United States.
The duties -- imposed after a complaint by private Canadian firm McCain Foods -- will affect pizzas such as the "Delissio" brand made by U.S. food giant Kraft.
Canada's Border Services Agency, which imposed the temporary measure, said in a statement it would decide on Aug. 16 this year whether to make the penalty permanent.
Countries apply anti-dumping duties when they deem that goods are being sold at less than the selling prices in the exporter's domestic market or at unprofitable prices.
