Carbon Steel Fasteners – Notice of Initiation of Expiry Review
On October 28, 2019, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), initiated an expiry review concerning the dumping of certain carbon steel fasteners originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China) and the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei) and the subsidizing of such goods originating in or exported from China.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has also initiated an expiry review investigation (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 CBSA will make a determination no later than March 26, 2020, and will issue a Statement of Reasons by April 9, 2020.
As part of its investigation, the CBSA forwarded questionnaires to Canadian producers, importers, exporters/foreign producers and to the Government of China. Any Canadian producers, importers or exporters/foreign producers who have not received a letter from the CBSA who wish to provide a response to the questionnaire are advised to contact the officers identified below. Responses to all questionnaires are due at the CBSA’s office in Ottawa by December 5, 2019.
