The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has initiated a normal value review to update the normal values and export prices of certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) exported to Canada from Indonesia by PT Citra Tubindo Tbk. (Citra Tubindo).
The normal value review is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) finding of a threat of injury issued on April 2, 2015, respecting the dumping of certain OCTG from several countries including Indonesia, in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).
The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT finding are contained in Appendix 1 (subject goods).
Should the exporter decide to participate in this normal value review, it is required to provide a complete and accurate response to the CBSA’s Request for Information (RFI) by September 10, 2018. The exporter will be considered co-operative if the requested information is complete, submitted on time and the exporter permits verification of the data.
If the exporter does not provide a complete response to the RFI by the deadline date, normal values for subject goods exported by Citra Tubindo will continue to be determined by advancing the export price of the goods by 37.4%, pursuant to a ministerial specification.
