Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 236/2017

Canada : Antidumping Action against Certain Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Hong Kong: Final Determination

Further to Commercial Information Circular No. 4/2017 dated 4 January 2017 regarding the Canadian authorities' preliminary determination of the anti-dumping (AD) investigation against certain concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from, inter alia, Hong Kong, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced on 3 April 2017 its final AD determination on dumping. The concerned goods are usually classified under the Harmonized System classification numbers 7213.10.00.00, 7214.20.00.00, 7215.90.00.90 and 7227.90.00.90.

2.Pursuant to the final determination on dumping, imports of the subject goods originating in / exported from Hong Kong will continue to be subject to a provisional duty of 108.5% (except for one company with individual rate of 54%), until the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) announces its final determination on injury to the domestic industry by 3 May 2017. Where the CITT determines an injury, the CBSA will impose a final AD duty on imports of the subject goods for the next five years. In the case of no injury found, all the proceedings will be terminated and the provisional duties will be returned.

3.CBSA's announcement of the final determination on dumping is available at http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/i-e/rb22016/rb22016-nf-eng.html. Additional information about this investigation will be contained in a Statement of Reasons which will be available within 15 days from the date of the final determination on CBSA's website at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi.
