The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an investigation into whether certain oil country tubular goods are being sold in the Canadian market at unfair prices.
The investigation focuses on imports from a small number of large steel producers operating in or exporting from Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, Türkiye, and the United States. These practices, if confirmed, may distort fair competition and impact Canadian producers.
The CBSA’s investigation follows a complaint filed by two Canadian producers. They cite impacts such as lost market share, price undercutting, reduced profitability, and job losses within the domestic industry.
In the next step of the investigation the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will determine, by October 10, 2025, whether the imports are harming Canadian producers.
Concurrently, the CBSA will investigate whether the imports are being dumped, and will make a preliminary decision by November 10, 2025.
Anti-dumping duties could eventually be applied to the goods under investigation.
