Duty liability (Anti-dumping duties and countervailing Duties)
Country of origin or export: China, South Korea, Vietnam
Effective on imports of subject goods released by the CBSA on or after December 22, 2018.
No exporters in China, South Korea or Vietnam received normal values or a specific amount of subsidy following the conclusion of the investigation. For further information please consult the CBSA Notice of Final Determinations.
The liability for anti-dumping and countervailing duty results from the proceedings conducted under SIMA and from the CITT finding. Given that no exporters or producers provided a response to the CBSA’s RFIs, normal values and amount of subsidy will therefore be determined by a ministerial specification under SIMA.
For importations of subject goods originating in/or exported from China, South Korea or Vietnam, the anti-dumping duty is listed in the table below:
| Country of origin or export | Anti-dumping Duty* |
|---|---|
| China - All Exporters | 91.9% |
| South Korea - All Exporters | 53.0% |
| Vietnam - All Exporters | 99.2% |
*As a percentage of export price.
For importations of subject goods originating in/or exported from China, South Korea or Vietnam, the countervailing duty is listed in the table below:
| Country of origin or export | Amount of Subsidy per Metric Tonne |
|---|---|
| China - All Exporters | 506 Chinese Renminbi |
| South Korea - All Exporters | 86,733 South Korean Won |
| Vietnam - All Exporters | 2,607,988 Vietnamese Dong |
For information on duty assessment, refer to the Guide for self-assessing SIMA duties.
