LP2 2022 RI: Line pipe 2
Notice of initiation of re-investigation
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated a re-investigation of the normal values and export prices of certain carbon and alloy steel line pipe (line pipe) exported from the Republic of Korea to Canada.
The re-investigation is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) injury finding issued on January 4, 2018.
The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT’s injury finding can be found on the CBSA’s Measures in Force.
Normal values established during this re-investigation will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after the date of the conclusion of the re-investigation. Normal values currently in place will expire on that date. Normal values determined on the basis of the re-investigation will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re determined at the time of the conclusion of this re-investigation.
Exporters that wish to participate in this re-investigation are required to provide a complete and accurate response to the CBSA’s request for information (RFI) by August 12, 2022. An exporter will be considered co-operative if the requested information is submitted on time and the exporter permits verification of the data. A complete listing of dates of interest is available on the re-investigation schedule.
Where an exporter of subject goods which has been asked to respond to an RFI does not provide sufficient information to determine specific normal values or does not permit verification of information submitted, anti-dumping duties will be assessed at a rate of 88.1%, in accordance with a ministerial specification pursuant to section 29 of SIMA, expressed as a percentage of the export price of the subject goods imported into Canada.
Exporters that are not the manufacturer of the subject goods (e.g. trading companies, vendors, etc.) will receive normal values only to the extent that their suppliers/manufacturers provide sufficient information to permit the determination of normal values, export prices.
Please note that, for the current re-investigation, the CBSA is contacting all known and potential exporters. Any importers or exporters who wish to provide a response to the RFI are advised to contact one of the officers identified below to obtain a copy of the RFI. It is suggested that importers contact their exporter(s) to determine if the exporter(s) intend to cooperate with the CBSA in this re-investigation.
Responses to the Importer RFI are due by August 5, 2022. Importers are cautioned that new normal values, when issued, may be higher than those currently in effect and that this could result in additional assessments of anti-dumping duties. Importers are also cautioned that unless an exporter co-operates in this re-investigation and receives specific normal values at its conclusion, subsequent imports of subject goods from that exporter will be assessed anti-dumping duties based on the ministerial specifications indicated above.
Please note that exporters with normal values are required to promptly inform the CBSA in writing of changes to domestic prices, costs, market conditions or terms and channel of sale associated with the production and sales of the goods. All parties are cautioned that where there are increases in domestic prices and/or costs as noted above, the export price for sales to Canada should be increased accordingly to ensure that any sale made to Canada is not only above the normal value but at or above selling prices and full costs and profit of the goods in the exporter’s domestic market. If exporters did not properly notify the CBSA of any such changes, did not adjust export prices accordingly, or did not provide the information required to make any necessary adjustments to normal values and export prices, retroactive assessments of anti-dumping duties may be warranted.
