STATEMENT OF REASONS

SUMMARY

On June 16, 1999, the Deputy Minister of National Revenue initiated an investigation respecting the alleged injurious dumping into Canada of certain concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) originating in or exported from the Republic of Cuba (Cuba), the Republic of Korea (Korea) and the Republic of Turkey (Turkey).

The investigation was initiated in response to a complaint filed by Co-Steel Inc. of Toronto, Ontario.

On September 14, 1999, the Deputy Minister made a preliminary determination of dumping with respect to the subject goods from the three countries.

The investigation continued after the preliminary determination and on November 1, 1999, Revenue Canada began operations as the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA). The Commissioner of Customs and Revenue (formerly the Deputy Minister of National Revenue) is now satisfied that the subject goods have been dumped, that the margins of dumping are not insignificant, and that the actual volumes of dumped goods are not negligible. Accordingly, the Commissioner has made a final determination of dumping in accordance with paragraph 41(1)(a) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).

INTERESTED PARTIES

Complainant

The complainant, Co-Steel Inc. (Co-Steel), is a major producer of rebar in Canada. There are six other rebar producers in Canada - Alta Steel Ltd., Gerdau Courtice, Gerdau MRM Steel, Ispat Sidbec Inc., Slater Industries and Stelco McMaster Ltée., all of whom expressed their support for the complaint.

Exporters

The CCRA has identified eight exporters of subject goods during the period of investigation (October 1, 1998 to March 31, 1999). The names and addresses of these exporters are listed in Appendix 1. The names and addresses of other parties (vendors/agents) to the transactions are listed in Appendix 2.

Importers

The CCRA has identified 11 importers of subject goods during the period of investigation (October 1, 1998 to March 31, 1999). The names and addresses of these importers are listed in Appendix 3.

BACKGROUND

On April 26, 1999, Co-Steel filed a complaint concerning the alleged injurious dumping of certain concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from Cuba, Korea and Turkey.

On May 17, 1999, the CCRA informed Co-Steel that the complaint was properly documented and also notified the governments of the named countries that a complaint had been filed.

On June 16, 1999, an investigation was initiated with a preliminary determination of dumping being made on September 14, 1999, pursuant to subsection 38(1) of SIMA.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Definition

For the purpose of this investigation, the subject goods are defined as:

hot-rolled deformed carbon or low alloy steel concrete reinforcing bar in straight lengths or coils, originating in or exported from the Republic of Cuba, the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Turkey.

Product Information

For further clarity, the subject goods include all hot-rolled deformed bar, rolled from billet steel, rail steel, axle steel, or low alloy-steel.

The subject goods exclude the following:

• plain round bar;
• rebar that a processor has further worked or fabricated (other than cut); and
• coated rebar

Rebar is produced in Canada in accordance with the National Standard of Canada CAN/CSA-G30.18-M92 for Billet-Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement (the National Standard) prepared by the Standards Association and approved by the Standards Council of Canada.

The following are the most common bar designation numbers with the corresponding diameter in millimetres in brackets: 10 (11.3), 15 (16.0), 20 (19.5), 25 (25.2), 30 (29.9), 35 (35.7), 45 (43.7), 55 (56.4). Rebar sizes are commonly referred to as the bar designation number combined with the letter "M". Thus 10M rebar is rebar with a bar designation number of 10 and a diameter of 11.3 millimetres.

The National Standard identifies two grades of rebar, namely regular or "R" and weldable or "W". R grades are intended for general applications while W grades are used where welding, bending or ductility are of special concern.

The National Standard also identifies yield strength levels of 300, 400, and 500. The grade and yield strength of rebar is identified by combining yield strength number with grade. Thus 400R is regular rebar with a yield strength of 400, and 500W is weldable rebar with a yield strength of 500.

The standard lengths for rebar are 6 metres (20 feet), 12 metres (40 feet) and 18 metres (60 feet) although they could be cut and sold in other lengths as specified by customers.

Production Process

Deformed steel concrete reinforcing bar is produced using ferrous scrap metal as the principal raw material. The scrap metal is melted in an electric arc furnace and is further processed in a ladle arc-refining unit. The molten steel is then continuously cast into rectangular billets of steel that are cut to length. The billets are then rolled into various sizes of rebar, which is cut to various lengths depending on the customers’ requirements.

Deformed rebar is rolled with deformations on the bar which provide gripping power so that concrete adheres to the bar and provides reinforcing value. The deformations must conform to requirements set out in the National Standards.

Product Application

Deformed rebar of all sizes is used almost exclusively in the construction industry to provide structural reinforcement to concrete structures. Residential markets primarily use rebar in smaller sizes, while the heavy construction and fabrication markets use most of the larger sizes of rebar.

CLASSIFICATION OF IMPORTS

The subject reinforcing bar is properly classified under the following Harmonized System classification numbers:

• 7214.20.00.00
• 7213.10.00.00

THE CANADIAN INDUSTRY

There are seven Canadian producers of rebar: Co-Steel Inc. of Toronto, Ontario; Alta Steel Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta; Gerdau Courtice of Cambridge, Ontario; Gerdau MRM Steel of Selkirk, Manitoba; Ispat Sidbec Inc. of Montréal, Quebec; Slater Industries of North York, Ontario; and Stelco McMaster Ltée. of Contrecoeur, Quebec.

There have been no significant changes in the structure of the Canadian industry since the initiation of this investigation. In June 1999, Co-Steel and Slater Steel announced an agreement to merge the two companies. However, the agreement was terminated after less than the required two-thirds of Slater shareholders tendered their shares for the proposed merger.

THE CANADIAN MARKET

In its complaint, Co-Steel had provided an estimate of the size of the Canadian rebar market for 1996, 1997, 1998 and the first three months of 1999. Co-Steel’s estimate of the apparent Canadian market was based on information from Statistics Canada reports on domestic production and imports.

At the time of the initiation of the investigation, the CCRA (formerly the Department of National Revenue) adjusted this market estimate to reflect actual import data for 1998 and 1999 from its internal information system, Facility for Information Retrieval Management (FIRM). The CCRA also examined customs entry documentation for imports from the named countries for that period.

Appendix 4 shows imports of rebar from all sources for the review period October 1, 1998 to March 31, 1999.

RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION

In conducting its investigation, the CCRA requested identified exporters and importers to provide sales and cost information necessary to determine the normal values and export prices of the subject goods. The dumping investigation covered all subject goods released into Canada during the period of investigation (POI) of October 1, 1998 to March 31, 1999 from the named countries.

With respect to Cuba, in addition to the exporter, the CCRA also sent a Request for Information (RFI) to the government of Cuba to obtain information necessary to determine if the steel sector in Cuba was operating under market economy conditions.

Complete responses to the CCRA’s RFI were received from three exporters in Turkey and one exporter in Korea. A submission was received from the sole exporter in Cuba although the government of Cuba did not respond to the RFI.

Normal values are generally based on the domestic selling prices of the goods in the country of export or on the total cost of the goods plus an amount for profit.

The export price of goods shipped to Canada is generally the exporter’s ex-factory selling price to the importer in Canada.

When the export price is less than the normal value, the difference is the margin of dumping. In this section, margins of dumping are expressed as a percentage of normal value.

Normal value, export price and the margin of dumping calculations for the exporters are discussed below. For the purposes of the final determination, on-site verifications were conducted in Korea and Turkey.

Cuba

RFI’s were sent to the government of Cuba and the Cuban exporter in order to obtain the information necessary to determine whether Cuba’s steel industry could be considered to be operating under market economy conditions or whether the conditions of section 20 of SIMA are applicable in respect of the Cuban steel sector. Section 20 is applicable for the determination of normal values when the government of the country of export has a monopoly of its export trade and it substantially determines domestic prices in respect of the goods under investigation.

Subsequent to the initiation of the investigation, the government of Cuba had made representations to the Canadian government invoking Article 15 of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Anti-Dumping Agreement requesting that the special situation of Cuba as a developing country be taken into account in this investigation. Also in accordance with Article 8 of the Agreement, the Cuban authorities had expressed an interest in offering an undertaking to the CCRA in order to suspend this investigation. However, the CCRA is prevented from ending the proceedings by accepting undertakings before a preliminary determination. In addition, the CCRA requires that undertaking proposals account for at least 85 per cent of the volume of dumped subject goods imported into Canada. Based on the volumes of imported goods reported at the time of initiation, an undertaking presented exclusively by the Cuban exporter would not meet this threshold. The investigation cannot be suspended for some exporters while it continues for others and none of the exporters from Korea or Turkey expressed an interest in offering an undertaking.

The government of Cuba did not provide a response to the CCRA’s RFI. In a letter dated November 29, 1999 to the CCRA, the Permanent Mission of Cuba at Geneva, Switzerland, stated that since 1993 the state monopoly of foreign trade ceased to exist in Cuba. However, in the absence of a response to the CCRA’s RFI from the government of Cuba, the CCRA’s own review of publicly available information indicates that Cuba has a non-market economy. The Commissioner of Customs and Revenue is, therefore, of the view that section 20 of SIMA is applicable in determining the normal value of rebar exported from Cuba.

Cia Siderurgica Acinox S.A.

Cia Siderurgica Acinox S.A. (Acinox), the Cuban exporter provided the CCRA with a submission. Acinox sold the subject goods to an unrelated Canadian importer.

Normal Value

Normal values of subject goods of Cuban origin exported by Acinox were determined pursuant to section 20 of SIMA based on sales of like goods in Turkey, the country designated by the Commissioner for this purpose. The resultant normal values are an average of the normal values of subject goods established for all three cooperating exporters in Turkey who had shipped subject goods to Canada during the period of investigation.

Export Price

Export prices were determined pursuant to section 24 of SIMA on the basis of the exporter’s selling price less costs, charges and expenses incurred in preparing the goods for shipment and resulting from their shipment to Canada.

(c) Margin of Dumping

For the goods exported to Canada by Acinox during the period of investigation, 88% were found to have been dumped. The weighted average margin of dumping was 5% when expressed as a percentage of normal value.

Korea

Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd.

Complete submissions from Dongkuk Steel Mill Co. Ltd. (DSM) and associated company Dongkuk International Inc. (DII) of Torrance, California, were provided to the CCRA. Verification meetings were held at the company’s facilities in Korea subsequent to the preliminary determination. All products were exported to Canada by DSM from its facilities in either Pusan or Inchon, Korea. The unrelated Canadian importer purchased the subject goods from DII.

Normal Value

As both the Inchon and Pusan facilities had sufficient domestic sales to unassociated customers at profitable levels, normal values were determined pursuant to section 15 of SIMA. Adjustments to domestic selling prices were made for differences in payment terms pursuant to paragraph 5(d) of the Special Import Measures Regulations (SIMR), for delivery costs pursuant to section 7 of the SIMR and for taxes and duty pursuant to section 10 of the SIMR.

(b) Export Price

For the final determination, export prices were determined pursuant to section 24 of SIMA on the basis of the exporter's selling price less all costs, charges and expenses incurred in preparing the goods for shipment to Canada and resulting from the exportation and shipment of the goods.

Margin of Dumping

Of the goods exported to Canada by DSM’s Pusan facility during the period of investigation, 100% were found to have been dumped. The weighted average margin of dumping was 11% when expressed as a percentage of normal value. The margins of dumping ranged from 3% to 13%.

None of the goods exported to Canada by DSM’s Inchon facility during the period of investigation, were found to have been dumped. The margin of dumping at the final determination is zero per cent.

3. Turkey

3.1 Colakoglu Metalurji A.S.

Colakoglu Metalurji A.S. (Colakoglu) provided the CCRA with a complete submission. Verification meetings were conducted at the company’s premises in Istanbul, Turkey, subsequent to the preliminary determination. All products exported to Canada were produced at Colakoglu’s plant in Gebze, Turkey and sold to an unrelated trading company. The Canadian importer purchased the goods from the vendor to which it is related.

Subsequent to the preliminary determination, Colakoglu made representations on various issues pertaining to the establishment of normal value and export price.

(a) Normal Value

As Colakoglu had sufficient profitable domestic sales to unassociated customers, normal values were determined on the basis of the weighted average selling prices of these sales pursuant to section 15 of SIMA. Adjustments to domestic selling prices were allowed for delivery costs pursuant to section 7 of the SIMR and for taxes under section 10 of the SIMR. The CCRA accepted additional information with respect to differences in payment terms between the importer and the domestic customers and made an adjustment to the domestic selling prices pursuant to paragraph 5(d) of the SIMR.

The company also made representations regarding the methodology for establishing the date of sale for exports to Canada and submitted additional information at the verification. For the final determination, the CCRA revised the date of sale to Canada.

In addition, Colakoglu raised other issues with respect to the establishment of normal values in the hyperinflationary economic environment in Turkey. The CCRA considered these representations but did not make adjustments for the final determination.

(b) Export Price

Export prices were determined pursuant to section 24 of SIMA on the basis of the exporter’s selling price which was lower than the importer’s purchase price. For the final determination, the CCRA accepted additional information provided by Colakoglu subsequent to the preliminary determination that resulted in changes being made to reflect the actual quantities of subject goods shipped in calculating the unit export price.

In addition, Colakoglu also made representations on the calculation of the export price in the hyperinflationary economic environment in Turkey. The CCRA considered these representations but did not make adjustments for the final determination.

Margin of Dumping

Of the goods exported to Canada by Colakoglu during the period of investigation,

100 % were found to have been dumped. The weighted average margin of dumping was 11% when expressed as a percentage of normal value. The margins ranged from 0.5% to 21%.

3.2 Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S.

Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S (Habas) provided the CCRA with a complete submission. Verification meetings were conducted at the company’s premises in Istanbul, Turkey, subsequent to the preliminary determination. All products exported to Canada were produced at Habas’ plant in Ismir, Turkey. Habas sold the goods to unrelated vendors from whom the Canadian importers purchased the goods.

Subsequent to the preliminary determination, Habas made representations on various issues pertaining to the establishment of normal value and export price.

(a) Normal Value

As Habas had sufficient profitable domestic sales to unassociated customers, normal values were determined on the basis of the weighted average selling prices of these sales pursuant to section 15 of SIMA. Adjustments to domestic selling prices were allowed for delivery costs pursuant to section 7 of the SIMR and for taxes under section 10 of the SIMR. The CCRA accepted additional information with respect to differences in payment terms between the importer and the domestic customers and made an adjustment to the domestic selling prices pursuant to paragraph 5(d) of the SIMR.

The company also made representations regarding the methodology for establishing the date of sale for exports to Canada and submitted additional information at the verification. For the final determination, the CCRA revised the date of sale to Canada.

In addition, Habas raised other issues with respect to the establishment of normal values in the hyperinflationary economic environment in Turkey. The CCRA considered these representations but did not make adjustments for the final determination.

Export Price

Export prices were determined pursuant to section 24 of SIMA on the basis of the exporter’s selling price which was lower than the importer’s purchase price. For the final determination, the CCRA accepted additional information provided by Habas subsequent to the preliminary determination that resulted in changes being made to reflect the actual quantities of subject goods shipped in calculating the unit export price.

In addition, Habas also made representations on the calculation of the export price in the hyperinflationary economic environment in Turkey. The CCRA considered these representations but did not make adjustments for the final determination.

Margin of Dumping

Of the goods exported to Canada by Habas during the period of investigation, 100% were found to have been dumped. The weighted average margin of dumping was 8% when expressed as a percentage of normal value. The margins ranged from 5% to 13%.

3.3 Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim Sanayi A.S.

Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim Sanayi A.S. (Icdas) provided the CCRA with a complete submission. Verification meetings were conducted at the company’s premises in Istanbul, Turkey, subsequent to the preliminary determination. All products exported to Canada were produced at the Icdas group’s Icdas or Ikitelli mills in Istanbul, Turkey. Icdas sold the goods to a vendor in the United States from whom the goods were purchased by an unrelated Canadian importer.

Subsequent to the preliminary determination, Icdas made representations on various issues pertaining to the establishment of normal value and export price.

(a) Normal Value

As both Icdas and Ikitelli mills had sufficient profitable domestic sales to unassociated customers, normal values were determined on the basis of the weighted average selling prices of these sales pursuant to section 15 of SIMA. Adjustments to domestic selling prices were allowed for delivery costs pursuant to section 7 of the SIMR and for taxes under section 10 of the SIMR. The CCRA accepted certain information with respect to differences in payment terms between the export customer and the domestic customers and made an adjustment to the domestic selling prices pursuant to paragraph 5(d) of the SIMR.

In addition, Icdas raised other issues with respect to the establishment of normal values in the hyperinflationary economic environment in Turkey. The CCRA considered these representations but did not make adjustments for the final determination.

(b) Export Price

Export prices were determined pursuant to section 24 of SIMA on the basis of the exporter’s selling price which was lower than the importer’s purchase price.

In addition, Icdas also made representations on the calculation of the export price in the hyperinflationary economic environment in Turkey. The CCRA considered these representations but did not make adjustments for the final determination.

Margin of Dumping

Of the goods exported to Canada by both the Icdas and Ikitelli mills during the period of investigation, 100 % were found to have been dumped. The weighted average margin of dumping for each plant was 8% when expressed as a percentage of normal value.

Other Exporters

All other exporters of subject goods to Canada during the POI did not provide a response to the CCRA’s RFI. For these exporters, normal value was determined by the application of a 27% advance over export price on the basis of a ministerial specification, pursuant to subsection 29(1) of SIMA. This advance was based on the highest margin of dumping found among all cooperating exporters involved in the investigation.

In addition, the CCRA received representations from an exporter in Turkey, Ekinciler Demir ve Celik San A.S. (Ekinciler) who had shipped subject goods to Canada, albeit outside the period of investigation. Eckinciler, a major Turkish producer of rebar, provided a complete response to the CCRA’s RFI and verification meetings were conducted at the company’s premises in Istanbul, Turkey. However, since its shipments of rebar fell outside the POI, Eckinciler cannot be given consideration in this current investigation.

Summary of Results

A summary of the margins of dumping for all exporters of subject goods in the named countries is contained in Appendix 5

DECISION

The investigation revealed that the margins of dumping on the subject goods are not insignificant and that the volume of dumped goods is not negligible. Accordingly, on this date, pursuant to paragraph 41(1) of SIMA, a final determination of dumping has been made with respect to certain concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from Cuba, Korea and Turkey.

FUTURE ACTION

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal's inquiry concerning the question of injury to the Canadian industry is continuing and the Tribunal will issue its finding by January 12, 2000. Subject goods imported during the provisional period will continue to be assessed provisional duty as determined at the time of the preliminary determination. This provisional period began on the date of the preliminary determination, September 14, 1999, and will end on the date the Tribunal issues its finding.

If the Tribunal finds that the dumped goods have not caused injury and do not threaten to cause injury, all proceedings relating to this investigation will be terminated. In such a case, all provisional duty paid or security posted by importers will be returned and future importations will not be subject to anti-dumping duty.

If the Tribunal finds that the dumped goods have caused injury, the CCRA will determine the exact amount of anti-dumping duty owing on subject goods released from the CCRA’s possession during the provisional period pursuant to section 55 of SIMA. If the provisional duty paid is in excess of the final amount of anti-dumping duty payable, the excess duty paid will be refunded. Importations released from the CCRA’s possession after the date of the Tribunal's finding will be subject to anti-dumping duty equal to the margin of dumping, which is the amount by which the normal value exceeds the export price. If anti-dumping duty is payable, such duty is hereby demanded pursuant to section 11 of SIMA.

If the Tribunal finds that the dumped goods threaten to cause injury, all provisional duty paid or security posted by importers will be returned. However, importations released from the CCRA’s possession after the date of the Tribunal's finding will be subject to anti-dumping duty equal to the margin of dumping. If anti-dumping duty is payable, such duty is hereby demanded pursuant to section 11 of SIMA.

Specific normal values for the subject goods have been provided to the cooperating exporters for the final determination. If there is a finding of injury, these values will come into effect the day after the Tribunal’s injury finding. Where normal values have not been issued, anti-dumping duty at a rate of 27% of the export price will be payable on importations of the subject goods. To avoid the application of this rate on their future shipments of subject goods, exporters can submit to the CCRA information required to permit the establishment of specific normal values for these products.

PUBLICATION

Notice of this final determination is being published in the Canada Gazette pursuant to paragraph 41(3)(a) of SIMA.
