The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated investigations, on March 24, 2016, under the Special Import Measures Act respecting the alleged injurious dumping of certain welded large diameter carbon and alloy steel line pipe (large line pipe) originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China) and Japan, and the alleged injurious subsidizing of large line pipe from China. The investigations follow a complaint filed by EVRAZ Inc. NA Canada (Regina, Saskatchewan) and its affiliate Canadian National Steel Corporation (Camrose, Alberta) (collectively “Evrazâ€).
On March 22, 2016, 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 orders made on February 17, 2012, in Expiry Review No. RR-2011-001, continuing, without amendment, its findings made on February 19, 2007, in Inquiry No. NQ-2006-002, concerning the dumping of certain copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from the United States of America, the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China (China) and the subsidizing of certain copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from China.
As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) today initiated an investigation to determine, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, whether the expiry of the orders is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidization of the subject goods. The CBSA will make a determination no later than July 20, 2016, and will issue a Statement of Reasons by August 3, 2016
