On December 5, 2012, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its finding made on August 20, 2008, in Inquiry No. NQ-2008-001, concerning the dumping and the subsidizing of certain carbon steel welded pipe originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.
As a result, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an investigation on December 6, 2012 to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the goods.
The investigation is now completed and today, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, the President of the CBSA (the President) has determined that the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods from China.
A Statement of Reasons that contains additional details concerning the determination made by the President will be issued within fifteen days and posted on the CBSA’s website.
The Tribunal will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in injury or retardation to the Canadian industry, and has announced that it will issue its decision no later than August 19, 2013.
Questions relating to the President’s determination should be addressed to Richard Pragnell:
