Expiry Review Decision

Hot-rolled Carbon Steel Sheet

Ottawa, April 6, 2016

On December 8, 2015, 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 order made on August 15, 2011, in Expiry Review No. RR-2010-001, continuing its order made on August 16, 2006, in Expiry Review No. RR-2005-002, continuing its finding made on August 17, 2001, in Inquiry No. NQ‑2001-001, concerning the dumping of flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip, originating in or exported from the Federative Republic of Brazil (Brazil), the People’s Republic of China (China), Chinese Taipei, the Republic of India (India) and Ukraine, and the subsidizing of such products originating in or exported from India.

As a result, on December 9, 2015, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an expiry review investigation to determine whether the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the subject goods.

The investigation has now been completed and today, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, the CBSA has determined that the expiry of the order:

  1. is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of such goods originating in or exported from Brazil, China and Ukraine,
  2. is unlikely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of such goods originating in or exported from Chinese Taipei and India; and
  3. is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of subsidizing of such goods originating in or exported from India.

A Statement of Reasons that contains additional details concerning the determination made by the CBSA will be issued within 15 days. The Statement of Reasons will be posted on the
CBSA’s website at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/er-rre/menu-eng.html.

The CITT will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of its order is likely to result in injury to the Canadian industry and has announced that it will issue its decision no later than August 14, 2016.
