Notice of initiation of expiry review investigation: Small Power Transformers (SPT 2026 ER)

October 2, 2026

On October 1, 2026, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), pursuant to subsection 76.03(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its finding made on December 24, 2021, in inquiry NQ-2021-003, concerning the dumping of certain small power transformers originating in or exported from the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) (subject goods).

As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated an expiry review investigation to determine, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the subject goods. The CBSA will make a determination no later than February 26, 2027, and will issue a Statement of Reasons by March 12, 2027.

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

As part of its expiry review investigation, the CBSA forwarded questionnaires to Canadian producers, importers and exporters. Any Canadian producers, importers or exporters who have not received a letter from the CBSA and who wish to provide a response to the questionnaire are advised to contact the CBSA Trade Remedies Registry at the email below.

Responses to all questionnaires are due by November 6, 2026, and must be filed through the CBSA's ACE web application. More information can be found at the links below:

A detailed schedule for the expiry review investigation is available.
