CT 2018 ER
Copper Tube
Notice of Expiry Review Decision

Ottawa, April 18, 2019

On November 20, 2018, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its findings made on December 18, 2013, in Inquiry No. NQ-2013-004, concerning the dumping of certain 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.

As a result, on November 21, 2018, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an expiry review investigation to determine whether the expiry of the findings is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the subject goods.

The investigation has now been completed and today, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, the CBSA has determined that the expiry of the findings:

1. is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of such goods originating in or exported from Mexico;
2. 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
3. is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of subsidizing of such goods originating in or exported from China.

A Statement of Reasons concerning this decision will be issued within 15 days and posted on the CBSA’s website at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/er-rre/menu-eng.html.

The CITT will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of its findings is likely to result in injury to the Canadian industry, and has announced that it will issue its decision no later than September 25, 2019.
