On December 8, 2017, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its finding made on December 11, 2012, in Inquiry No. NQ 2012-003, concerning the dumping of certain carbon steel welded pipe originating in or exported from Chinese Taipei (excluding goods exported from Chinese Taipei by Chung Hung Steel Corporation and Shin Yang Steel Co. Ltd), India, Oman, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (excluding goods exported from the UAE by Conares Metal Supply Ltd.), and the subsidizing of the aforementioned goods originating in or exported from India. Please refer to the Appendix for the definition of certain carbon steel welded pipe subject to the CITT’s finding and its exclusions.
As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, on December 11, 2017, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an expiry review investigation 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 has now been completed and today the President of the CBSA has determined, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, that the expiry of the finding concerning the dumping of certain carbon steel welded pipe originating in or exported from Chinese Taipei (excluding goods exported from Chinese Taipei by Chung Hung Steel Corporation and Shin Yang Steel Co. Ltd), India, Oman, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, and the UAE (excluding goods exported from the UAE by Conares Metal Supply Ltd.) is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods into Canada; and the expiry of the finding in respect of the subsidizing of certain carbon steel welded pipe originating in or exported from India is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of subsidizing of the goods exported to Canada.
A Statement of Reasons that contains additional details concerning the determination made by the President will be issued within 15 days. The Statement of Reasons will be posted on the CBSA’s website at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/er-rre/menu-eng.html.
The CITT will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of its finding is likely to result in injury to the Canadian industry and has announced that it will issue its decision no later than October 15, 2018.
The Notice of Expiry Review Decision is from on the CBSA website.
