Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 124/2023

Canada : Antidumping Action against Certain Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Hong Kong : Determination of Injury in Expiry Review

Further to Commercial Information Circular No. 696/2022 of 29 August 2022 regarding the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)'s dumping determination in the expiry review regarding certain concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from, inter alia, Hong Kong, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) announced on 2 February 2023 its finding that the expiry of the anti-dumping (AD) measure is likely to result in injury to the domestic industry.

Background

2.Canada has imposed a definitive AD duty on imports of certain concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from, inter alia, Hong Kong, for a period of five years from 4 May 2017. On 30 March 2022, the CBSA initiated an expiry review of the AD measure. On 26 August 2022, it announced its determination that the expiry of the measure would likely result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the subject goods into Canada.

3.On 2 February 2023, the CITT announced its finding that expiry of the AD measure is likely to result in injury to the domestic industry. Accordingly, the anti-dumping measure will be continued for the next five years.

4.The concerned goods are usually classified under the Harmonized System classification numbers 7213.10.00.11, 7213.10.00.12, 7213.10.00.13, 7213.10.00.90, 7214.20.00.11, 7214.20.00.12, 7214.20.00.13, 7214.20.00.14, 7214.20.00.21, 7214.20.00.22, 7214.20.00.23, 7214.20.00.24, 7214.20.00.31, 7214.20.00.32, 7214.20.00.33, 7214.20.00.34, 7214.20.00.90, 7215.90.00.20, 7215.90.00.30, 7227.90.00.50, 7228.30.00.51, 7228.30.00.52 and 7228.30.00.53.
