Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Plate – Expiry Review Decision

On October 3, 2017, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated an expiry review concerning the dumping of certain hot rolled carbon steel plate originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.

As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, on October 4, 2017, 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 of the subject goods.

The investigation has now been completed and today the CBSA has determined that the expiry of the order concerning the dumping of certain hot-rolled carbon steel plate originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the subject goods to Canada.

A Statement of Reasons that contains additional details concerning the determination made by the CBSA will be issued within 15 days.

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 9, 2018.
