Concrete Reinforcing Bar – Notice of Conclusion of Re-Investigation

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has concluded a re-investigation of the normal values and export prices respecting certain concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China), the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Turkey and the amount of subsidy respecting certain concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from China, in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).

The re-investigation was initiated on May 1, 2017, as part of the ongoing enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) finding of threat of injury issued on January 9, 2015.

The subject goods are described as:

“Hot-rolled deformed steel concrete reinforcing bar in straight lengths or coils, commonly identified as rebar, in various diameters up to and including 56.4 millimeters, in various finishes, excluding plain round bar and fabricated rebar products, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, Republic of Korea and the Republic of Turkey.”

Exclusion:

“10-mm-diameter (10M) rebar produced to meet the requirements of CSA G30 18.09 (or equivalent standards) and coated to meet the requirements of epoxy standard ASTM A775/A 775M 04a (or equivalent standards) in lengths from 1 foot (30.48 cm) up to and including 8 feet (243.84 cm).”

The subject goods are usually classified under the following 10-digit Harmonized System (HS) classification numbers:
7213.10.00.00
7214.20.00.00
7215.90.00.90
7227.90.00.90

Given that no other exporters or producers in the Republic of Turkey, nor any exporters or producers in the Republic of Korea or China provided a response to the CBSA’s dumping RFI, normal values for all other exporters will be based on the export price of the goods advanced by 41% pursuant to section 29 of SIMA.

Given that neither the Government of China, nor any exporters or producers in China provided a complete response to the CBSA’s subsidy RFI, amounts of subsidy for all exporters from China will be equal to 469 Chinese Renminbi per metric tonne.
