Product information

Product definition

For greater certainty, the product definition includes unfinished line pipe (including pipe that may or may not already be tested, inspected, and/or certified to line pipe specifications) originating in the Republic of Korea and imported for use in the production or finishing of line pipe meeting final specifications, including outside diameter, grade, wall-thickness, length, end finish, or surface finish; and non-prime and secondary pipes (“limited service products”).

Exclusions

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) excludes from its finding welded line pipe having nominal outside diameters from and including 18 inches to 24 inches (610 mm) (with all dimensions being plus or minus allowable tolerances contained in the applicable standards), regardless of grade and wall thickness, with a manganese content of no less than 16% by weight, for exclusive use in slurry, tailings, and pressure piping systems in oil sands projects, and marked “Not for CSA Z-662 Applications”. For greater certainty, use in a pipeline meeting CSA Z-662 is not permitted under this exclusion.

Exclusions from the CITT Order of September 6, 2023:

• Submerged arc longitudinal welded line pipe, regardless of grade, having nominal outside diameters from and including 18 inches to 24 inches (610 mm) (with all dimensions being plus or minus allowable tolerances contained in the applicable standards), with a wall thickness of 0.500 inches or above (12.700 mm or above), in lengths of 60 feet (18.288 m) with no girth welds, for exclusive use in slurry or tailings piping systems in oils sands projects and marked “For Use as Slurry/Tailings Pipe Only” and having an accompanying mill test report indicating that the pipe is certified for use in slurry or tailings applications only; for greater certainty, use in a pipeline meeting CSA Z-662 or as pressure piping meeting CSA B51 Code is not permitted under this exclusion
• Submerged arc longitudinal welded line pipe, having nominal outside diameters from and including 18 inches to 24 inches (with all dimensions being plus or minus allowable tolerances contained in the applicable standards), regardless of wall thickness and length, for the exclusive end use of high-temperature steam distribution in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) or Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) processes, marked “For Steam Distribution Only (in SAGD or CSS End-Uses Only)”, and certified to meet the requirements of CSA Z662.19 Clause 14 and/or Annex I and certified to have proven fatigue/creep test properties as provided in sections I.2.3.2 and I.3.2.1 of CSA Z662.19 as established by means of a creep test of no less than 10,000 hours carried out in accordance with ASTM E139 and having an accompanying mill test report indicating that the pipe is certified for use in high-temperature steam distribution in SAGD or CSS processes only

Duty liability (Anti-dumping duties)

Country of origin or export: South Korea

The following table identifies the exporter(s) who currently have been issued normal values. Please refer to the Normal value model ID table for information relating to model IDs, model descriptions and units of measure. Information regarding specific normal values of subject goods should be obtained from the exporter. Please note that model information is posted only for exporters who have successfully enrolled in an exporter ID.

For importations of subject goods for which the exporter has not been issued normal values, the anti-dumping duty is equal to 88.1% of the export price.

Disclosure of Normal Values

The liability for anti-dumping duty results from the proceeding conducted under SIMA and from the finding of the CITT. Information regarding the normal value of the subject goods in question and the amount of anti-dumping duty payable should be obtained from the exporter. Related information may be made available to importers on a need-to-know basis in accordance with the provisions of Memorandum D14-1-2, Disclosure of Normal Values, Export Prices, and Amounts of Subsidy Established Under the Special Import Measures Act.

For information on duty assessment, refer to the Guide for self-assessing SIMA duties.
