airwise | October 06, 2017
The US Commerce Department has added to Canadian plane maker Bombardier’s problems with the announcement of a further import duty on its CSeries aircraft. The department proposed a duty of 79.82 percent in a preliminary determination in its antidumping investigation of 100- to 150-seat large civil aircraft imported from Canada. The duty comes on top of a 219.63 percent duty announced last week for “countervailable subsidies” in financing the CSeries aircraft.
