The Canadian International Trade Tribunal gives notice that, pursuant to subsection 76.03(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), it will initiate an expiry review of its finding made on June 4, 2021, in inquiry NQ-2020-004, concerning the dumping of hot-rolled deformed steel concrete reinforcing bar in straight lengths or coils, commonly identified as rebar, in various diameters up to and including 56.4 millimeters, in various finishes, excluding plain round bar and fabricated rebar products, originating in or exported from the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of Indonesia, the Italian Republic, the Federation of Malaysia, the Republic of Singapore and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (expiry review RR-2026-002). Also excluded is 10 mm diameter (10M) rebar produced to meet the requirements of CSA G30 18.09 (or equivalent standards) that is coated to meet the requirements of epoxy standard ASTM A775/A 775M 04a (or equivalent standards) in lengths from 1 foot (30.48 cm) up to and including 8 feet (243.84 cm).
The Tribunal also gives notice that, pursuant to subsection 76.03(1) of SIMA, it will initiate an expiry review of its finding made on July 2, 2021, in inquiry NQ-2020-005, concerning the dumping of the same goods originating in or exported from the Sultanate of Oman and the Russian Federation (expiry review RR-2026-003). The Tribunal designated expiry review RR‑2026‑002 as the lead file for the joint proceeding. Unless otherwise directed by the Tribunal, all documents will be filed in RR‑2026‑002, with the exception of the notices of expiry review and the orders and statement of reasons, which will be issued in each proceeding.
In these expiry reviews, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will first determine whether the expiry of the findings in respect of the above-mentioned goods (the subject goods) is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the subject goods. If the CBSA determines that the expiry of the findings in respect of any goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping, the Tribunal will then determine if the continued or resumed dumping is likely to result in injury to the domestic industry. The CBSA will provide notice of its determinations within 150 days after receiving notice of the Tribunal’s initiation of the expiry reviews, that is, no later than September 17, 2026. The Tribunal will issue its orders and its statement of reasons no later than February 24, 2027.
Each person or government wishing to participate in these expiry reviews must file Form I—Notice of Participation with the Tribunal by May 5, 2026. Regarding the importance of the deadline for filing a notice of participation, please read carefully the “Support by domestic producers” section below. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the expiry reviews must file Form II—Notice of Representation and Form III—Declaration and Undertaking with the Tribunal, by May 5, 2026.
