Report on the Production in Canada of Certain Fibres, Yarns and Apparel Fabrics

This report inquires into the availability of fibres, yarns, and apparel fabrics made by Canadian manufacturers and proposes a tariff structure that reflects that availability. The findings of the report are based on a review of 591 textile tariff items found in the Canadian Customs Tariff and data collected from questionnaires & submissions from the textile & apparel industries and industry associations. Part I gives general information concerning the conduct of the inquiry and explains the basis on which the Canadian International Trade Tribunal has proposed a new tariff structure. Part II reports, for each subject chapter of the Customs Tariff, on the availability of fibres, yarns, & apparel fabrics and suggests a tariff structure based on production in accordance with the approach described in part I. Part III provides the Tribunal's views on a number of additional issues raised during the inquiry, such as substitutability and outward processing. The final part contains a statistical summary of the tariff items where it is proposed that protection be maintained and tariff items where tariff relief is proposed.
