Expiry Review Decision

March 12, 2009

Expiry Review No.: RR-2008-004
Certain Stainless Steel Wires

On November 12, 2008, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its findings made July 30, 2004, in Inquiry No. NQ‑2004‑001, concerning the dumping of certain stainless steel round wire originating in or exported from the Republic of Korea, Switzerland and the United States of America, and the subsidizing of such product originating in or exported from India.

As a result, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (the President) commenced an investigation on November 13, 2008, to determine whether the expiry of the findings was likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing of the goods.

The investigation has now been completed and, on March 12, 2009, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, the President has determined that the expiry of the findings is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods from the Republic of Korea, Switzerland and the United States of America, and the subsidizing of such product from India.

A Statement of Reasons containing additional details concerning the determination made by the President will be issued within fifteen days. The Statement of Reasons will be posted at the following website: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/er-rre/menu-eng.html.

The Tribunal will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in injury or retardation to the Canadian industry, and will make its decision by July 29, 2009.
