Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on August 24, 2009, from the Director General of the Trade Programs Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) stating that the President of the CBSA had initiated an investigation into a complaint respecting the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of oil country tubular goods originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, made of carbon or alloy steel, welded or seamless, heat-treated or not heat-treated, regardless of end finish, having an outside diameter from 2 ?; inches to 13 ?; inches (60.3 mm to 339.7 mm), meeting or supplied to meet American Petroleum Institute specification 5CT or equivalent standard, in all grades, excluding drill pipe and excluding seamless casing up to 11 ¾ inches (298.5 mm) in outside diameter.

Pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated a preliminary injury inquiry to determine whether the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA.

The Tribunal’s preliminary injury inquiry will be conducted by way of written submissions. Each person or government wishing to participate in the preliminary injury inquiry must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before September 8, 2009….

On September 14, 2009, the Tribunal will distribute the public information received from the CBSA to all parties that have filed notices of participation, and the confidential information to counsel who have filed a declaration and undertaking with the Tribunal….

Parties should note that the Tribunal does not consider exclusion requests during a preliminary injury inquiry, and, therefore, none should be filed at this stage. Should the matter proceed to a final inquiry, particulars regarding the schedule for filing exclusion requests will be included in the notice of commencement of inquiry….

Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding this notice should be addressed to:
