A final decision on whether or not to keep the duties will be made by The United States International Trade Commission in 2018. The Canadian government has responded to this issue by threatening to end all business relations with Boeing. Boeing must reconsider their actions in order to keep their relationship with Canada. Canada is a very large consumer of Boeing products and they must consider if their actions are worth it. The implementation of new duties will reduce the number of sales for Bombardier and this will lead to many job losses for Canadian aerospace workers. Bombardier has not given up and they can use chapter 19 of the North American Free Trade Agreement to appeal the decision that was made by the United States Government. Chapter 19 is the section of NAFTA which allows North American countries to challenge dumping or subsidy decisions if they believe that another country has applied their own trade laws in an unfair manner.

NAFTA was established in 1992 and came into effect January 1st 1994. NAFTA was created to eliminate or reduce any tariffs between the three countries. It was formed to uphold greater trade between three countries "the increase in agricultural trade was doubled after the eight- to 12-year 'phase-in' period” (Grant, newswise).

Unsurprisingly the US Steel industry was influential in Bush’s decision to erect trade barriers on steel imports, with their uncompetitive and politically sensitive nature proving to be a constraint on the Bush’s government’s free trade ambitions. Following a surge in foreign imports, the industry had been filing various anti-dumping cases – over one hundred in between 1999 and 2002 (Ho, 2003, pp12-13).

Although, the U.S. steel industry experienced some relief from the dumping of foreign steel producers, the dumping was still remained a force that was problematic in the steel industry. As seen above, the steel market is primarily controlled by the foreign steel producers. The anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders and suspension agreement, covering imports of hot-rolled steel in, was extended for 5 years to alleviate some of the harm resulting from the influx of steel in the U.S. market. This extension was initiated to help keep the surplus of steel products in the U.S. at bay. This particular driving force can and has adversely affected the steel industry.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (U.S. CBP) is one of the oldest law enforcement entities in the U.S., and has a rich history of protecting our borders. A historical overview and understanding of the U.S. Customs origins displays how over the centuries the strategic mission of the CBP has evolved to combat threats of specific time eras. U.S. Customs has grown from collecting of revenue during the 1800s to fighting the War on Drugs, and well into the 21st century where combating terrorism would be yet another mission undertaken by CBP. Without a doubt, the U.S. Customs Service has played an active role in the protection of the nation’s borders against terrorism, criminal drug lords, and even the violation of intellectual property theft.

In saying this, free trading between more economically developed countries and LEDC's will mean
