In March 2022, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated an expiry review of its finding made in May 2017 concerning the dumping of certain concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from Belarus, the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei), the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (Hong Kong), Japan, Portugal and Spain.
Following the Tribunal’s decision, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an expiry review investigation to determine whether the expiry of the finding (and the removal of anti-dumping duties) is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the subject goods.
The CBSA’s expiry review investigation has now been completed and the CBSA has determined that the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of such goods originating in or exported from Belarus, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan, Portugal and Spain.
The CITT will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of its finding is likely to result in injury to the Canadian industry and will issue its decision by February 2, 2023.
