Certain hot-rolled carbon steel plate, Expiry Review No. RR-2013-002

On December 27, 2018, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its order made on January 7, 2014, in Expiry Review No. RR-2013-002, concerning the dumping of certain hot-rolled carbon steel plate originating in or exported from Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Romania.

As a result, on December 28, 2018, 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, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, the CBSA has determined that the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of such goods originating in or exported from Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Romania.

A Statement of Reasons that contains additional details concerning the determination made by the CBSA will be issued within 15 days. The Statement of Reasons will be posted on the CBSA’s website at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/er-rre/menu-eng.html.

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 October 31, 2019.
