In August 2024 the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated an expiry review of its orders made in September 2019 concerning the dumping of copper tube originating in or exported from Brazil, China, Greece, Mexico and South Korea and the subsidizing of those goods originating in or exported from China.
Following the Tribunals decision, 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 and/or subsidizing of the goods.
The CBSA’s investigation has now been completed and the Agency 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 Mexico
• is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of such goods originating in or exported from Brazil, China, Greece and South Korea and
• is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of subsidizing of such goods originating in or exported from China
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 by June 18, 2025.
