On April 30, 2020, pursuant to paragraph 76.1(1)(b) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Minister of Finance asked the Canadian International Trade Tribunal to review its finding of May 20, 2014, in Inquiry No. NQ-2013-005, that the dumping of certain hot-rolled carbon steel plate from the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Republic of Indonesia, the Italian Republic, Japan and the Republic of Korea was threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry, and to have regard to the recommendations and rulings of the Dispute Settlement Body of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in relation to the WTO panel report in Canada – Anti-Dumping Measures on Imports of Certain Carbon Steel Welded Pipe from the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (DS482). The Tribunal hereby gives notice that it has initiated such a review.
The Minister also requested that the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) review its decisions taken under subsection 41(1) of SIMA in respect of individual exporters with de minimis margins of dumping, i.e. steel plate exported by Hyundai Steel Company. The outcome of the CBSA’s review may require that the Tribunal review its threat of injury finding. The CBSA’s notice regarding the initiation of its review can be found at cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/i-e/ad1402-1404/ad1402-1404-nr-eng.html
The Tribunal invites parties interested in participating in this review to file a notice of participation with the Tribunal on or before June 22, 2020. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in this proceeding must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Tribunal on or before June 22, 2020.
