Carbon Steel Welded Pipe – Notice of Initiation of Expiry Review Investigation

On December 8, 2017, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated an expiry review of its finding concerning the dumping of certain carbon steel welded pipe originating in or exported from Chinese Taipei, the Republic of India (India), the Sultanate of Oman (Oman), the Republic of Korea (Korea), the Kingdom of Thailand (Thailand), and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the subsidizing of certain carbon steel welded pipe originating in or exported from India.

As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an investigation to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the subject goods.  The CBSA will make a determination no later than May 7, 2018, and will issue a Statement of Reasons by May 22, 2018.

The subject goods are defined as carbon steel welded pipe, commonly identified as standard pipe, in the nominal size range from ½ inch up to and including 6 inches (12.7 mm to 168.3 mm in outside diameter) inclusive, in various forms and finishes, usually supplied to meet ASTM A53, ASTM A135, ASTM A252, ASTM A589, ASTM A795, ASTM F1083 or Commercial Quality, or AWWA C200-97 or equivalent specifications, including water well casing, piling pipe, sprinkler pipe and fencing pipe, but excluding oil and gas line pipe made to API specifications exclusively, originating in or exported from Chinese Taipei, India, Oman, Korea, Thailand, and the UAE.
