Boeing wins delay in duty ruling on petition against Bombardier CSeries
MONTREAL — Bombardier will have to wait an extra two months to find out if its CSeries commercial jets will be hit by punishing U.S. duties.
The U.S. Commerce Department on Wednesday granted Boeing’s request to delay its preliminary determination on the aircraft giant’s petition until Sept. 25 from July 21.
A final determination is still expected later this year.
In April, Boeing petitioned the U.S. Commerce Department and U.S. International Trade Commission, alleging that the Montreal company has been selling CSeries planes in the U.S. below cost thanks to public subsidies in violation of trade rules.
