Certain Concrete Reinforcing Bar
Notice of Final Determination

Ottawa, April 3, 2017

On April 3, 2017, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(a) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), made a final determination of dumping with respect to certain concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from the Republic of Belarus (Belarus), Chinese Taipei, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (Hong Kong), Japan, the Portuguese Republic (Portugal) and the Kingdom of Spain (Spain) (subject goods).

The subject goods are usually classified under the following Harmonized System (HS) classification numbers (codes):

• 7213.10.00.00
• 7214.20.00.00
• 7215.90.00.90
• 7227.90.00.90

Note that these HS codes are for convenience of reference only. Refer to the product definition for authoritative details regarding the subject goods.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) is continuing its inquiry into the question of injury to the domestic industry and will make an order or finding by May 3, 2017.

Provisional duties will continue to apply on imports of subject goods until the date of the CITT’s order or finding.

Additional information about this investigation is contained in a Statement of Reasons, which will be available within 15 days on the CBSA’s website at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi.

Note: The margins of dumping reported in the table above are the margins determined by the CBSA for purposes of the final determination of dumping. These margins do not reflect the amount of anti-dumping duty to be levied on future importations of dumped goods. In the event of an injury finding by the CITT, normal values have been provided to the exporters which provided sufficient information for future shipments to Canada and these normal values would come into effect the day after an injury finding. Information regarding normal values of the subject goods should be obtained from the exporter. Imports from exporters/producers that did not provide sufficient information to the CBSA during the dumping investigation and who are not listed in the table above will be subject to the All Other Exporters anti dumping duty rate of 108.5%, expressed as a percentage of the export price, pursuant to a ministerial specification. Please consult the SIMA Self-Assessment Guide for more detailed information explaining how to determine the amount of SIMA duties owing.

Normally, normal values will not be applied retroactively. However, this measure may be applied retroactively in cases where the parties have not advised the CBSA in a timely manner of substantial changes that affect values for SIMA purposes. Therefore, where substantial changes occur in prices, market conditions, costs associated with production and sales of the goods, the onus is on the concerned parties to advise the CBSA.
