Certain Unitized Wall Modules
Notice of Expiry Review Decision

Ottawa, January 24, 2019

On August 27, 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 finding made on November 12, 2013, in Inquiry No. NQ-2013-002, concerning the dumping and subsidizing of unitized wall modules, with or without infill, including fully assembled frames, with or without fasteners, trims, cover caps, window operators, gaskets, load transfer bars, sunshades and anchor assemblies; excluding non-unitized building envelope systems such as stick systems and point-fixing systems, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China).

As a result, on August 28, 2018, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an expiry review investigation to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the goods.

The investigation has now been completed and today the CBSA has determined, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, that the expiry of the finding concerning the dumping and subsidizing of certain unitized wall modules originating in or exported from China is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and subsidizing of the goods exported into Canada.

A Statement of Reasons that contains additional details concerning the determination made by the President will be issued within 15 days. The Statement of Reasons will be 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 order is likely to result in injury to the Canadian industry. The CITT has announced that it will issue its decision by July 3, 2019.
