Silicon Metal, Expiry Review No. RR-2018-003
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has initiated an expiry review concerning the dumping and subsidizing of silicon metal containing at least 96.00 percent but less than 99.99 percent silicon by weight, and silicon metal containing between 89.00 percent and 96.00 percent silicon by weight that contains aluminium greater than 0.20 percent by weight, of all forms and sizes, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.
