Notice of initiation of expiry review investigation: Carbon steel fasteners (FAS 2025 ER)

May 7, 2025

On May 5, 2025, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated an expiry review of its order made in September 2020 (RR-2019-002), concerning the dumping of certain carbon steel fasteners originating in or exported from China and Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei) and the subsidizing of such goods originating in or exported from China.

As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will investigate to determine whether the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the subject goods. The CBSA will make a determination no later than October 2, 2025, and will issue a Statement of Reasons by October 17, 2025.

The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT’s order are accessible on the CBSA’s Measures in force.

A detailed schedule for the expiry review investigation is available.
