On April 15, 2002, a NAFTA Binational Panel unanimously upheld the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) decision made on June 30, 2000, of a final determination of dumping with respect to refrigerators, dishwashers and dryers exported from the U.S. made by Whirlpool Corporation and White Consolidated Industries Inc. The panel determined that a remand was unnecessary on any of the challenges to the CCRA’s findings. The CCRA’s proceedings stemmed from an anti-dumping complaint filed in October 1999 by Mississauga, Ontario-based Camco Inc., the largest Canadian manufacturer of home appliances. As a result of the CCRA’s findings, in combination with the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s finding of injury, anti-dumping duties are applied to these products for a period of at least five years.
