Investigation of Truck Bodies from China

Summary#

This Gazette issue collects short public notices from federal agencies about trade, charities, procurement and broadcasting. Key points: the Canada Border Services Agency opened an anti‑dumping and subsidy investigation into truck bodies from China on October 24, 2025; the Canada Revenue Agency published a long list of charities flagged for possible revocation of their registered status; the Canadian International Trade Tribunal issued a finding in one procurement complaint and launched another inquiry; and the Canadian Radio‑television and Telecommunications Commission posted new application and consultation notices with upcoming deadlines.

What it does#

• Canada Border Services Agency — under the Special Import Measures Act, it started investigations on October 24, 2025 into alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of truck bodies originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China. The detailed product definition and tariff codes are on the CBSA website. A Statement of Reasons will be posted within 15 days of the decision.

• Canada Revenue Agency — under the Income Tax Act, it published notices of intent to revoke the charitable registration of many organizations because they missed filing requirements. The revocations are effective on the date the notice appears in the Canada Gazette.

• Canadian International Trade Tribunal

  • File PR-2025-016: The Tribunal determined on October 23, 2025 that a complaint by École de langues Eagle Inc. (ELE) was valid. The complaint challenged how a solicitation (WS4927918591) for second‑language training — run by Public Works and Government Services Canada for the Department of National Defence — was evaluated.
  • File PR-2025-034: On October 16, 2025 the Tribunal decided to hold an inquiry into a complaint by Equifax Canada Co. about a solicitation (ACAN‑25‑030) by Export Development Canada for business data services.

• Canadian Radio‑television and Telecommunications Commission — the Commission noted that it posts full decisions and notices on its website and listed recent applications and consultations (posted between October 17 and October 23, 2025) with submission deadlines such as November 17, 2025 and November 21, 2025 for specific proceedings.

Who's affected#

• Importers, domestic manufacturers and distributors of truck bodies and related vehicle equipment. If duties result from the CBSA investigation, costs and supply could change.
• The dozens of charities named by the Canada Revenue Agency. Revocation affects their ability to issue official donation receipts and may change donor support and beneficiary services.
• Businesses and bidders involved in the two procurement files: École de langues Eagle Inc., Equifax Canada Co., Public Works and Government Services Canada, Department of National Defence, and Export Development Canada, plus their competitors.
• Broadcasters, telecom companies, consumer groups and members of the public who follow CRTC proceedings — they may want to file comments before the listed deadlines.

If a specific item on the page applies to you (for example, your charity appears on the revocation list or you bid on the named solicitations), the notices include contacts and refer to agency webpages for more details.

Why it matters#

• The CBSA probe could lead to anti‑dumping or countervailing duties. That can raise import costs or protect some Canadian producers, and affect prices for businesses and consumers who buy vehicles with these truck bodies.
• Losing charitable registration can reduce a charity’s funding and change services for communities and clients who rely on them. Donors lose tax receipts for future gifts while an organization’s status is unresolved.
• Tribunal decisions and inquiries signal how government procurement is being reviewed for fairness. Outcomes can result in contract changes, re-tendering, or remedies for bidders.
• CRTC postings and deadlines are the formal way stakeholders can influence broadcasting and telecom decisions. Missing deadlines can mean losing the chance to comment.
