Certain Liquid Dielectric Transformers – Notice of Conclusion of Re-Investigation
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has concluded a re-investigation of the normal values and export prices of certain liquid dielectric transformers originating in or exported from the Republic of Korea, in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).
For the purpose of this re-investigation, the subject goods are defined as:
Liquid dielectric transformers having a top power handling capacity equal to or exceeding 60,000 kilovolt amperes (60 megavolt amperes), whether assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, originating in or exported from the Republic of Korea.
Liquid dielectric transformers having a top power handling capacity equal to or exceeding 60,000 kilovolt amperes (KVA) (60 megavolt amperes (MVA)), whether assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, will hereafter be referred to as Power Transformers.
Imports of the subject goods are usually classified in Section XV of the Customs Tariff under the following Harmonized System (HS) classification numbers:
8504.23.00.00 – Liquid dielectric transformers, having a power handling capacity exceeding 10,000 kVA
Unassembled or incomplete subject goods may also be imported under the following HS codes:
8504.90.90.10 – Parts – Printed circuit assemblies, of electric transformers and other inductors, other, of electric transformers
8504.90.90.82 – Parts – Having a power handling capacity of 500 kVA or more
8504.90.90.90 – Parts – Other
The listing of HS codes is for convenience of reference only. The HS codes listed may include non-subject goods. Also, subject goods may fall under HS codes that are not listed. Refer to the product definition for authoritative details regarding the subject goods.
Effective July 5, 2017, specific normal values for future shipments of subject transformers to Canada will be determined based on updated information for all exporters that provided a complete submission. These exporters are:
- Hyosung Corporation
- Hyundai Electric and Energy Systems Co., Ltd.
(A new entity spun off from Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. on April 1, 2017)
Where sufficient information is not available to determine a specific normal value, normal values for future shipments will be determined by ministerial specification, which is calculated by advancing the export price of the goods by 101%. For all exporters of subject goods not listed above, normal values will be determined by this ministerial specification.
Normal values previously in place are now expired. In addition, the normal values determined on the basis of the re-investigation will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this re-investigation.
