Conclusion of normal value review: Oil country tubular goods and seamless casing (OS 2024 UP1)
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today concluded a normal value review (review) to establish the normal values, export prices and amounts of subsidy applicable to certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and certain seamless casing (SC) originating in or exported from China by Baoshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (Baoshan).
The review follows a request for re‑determination filed by an importer and is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s orders issued on:
- November 28, 2018, in Expiry Review No. RR-2017-006 (SC) and
- December 10, 2020, in Expiry Review No. RR-2019-005 (OCTG I)
The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT’s orders can be found on the CBSA’s Measures in force.
Period of investigation
For this review, the period of investigation (POI) and the profitability analysis period (PAP) were from May 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024.
Normal value review process
At the initiation of this review, the CBSA sent dumping and subsidy requests for information (RFI) to Baoshan. The information was requested for purposes of determining normal values, export prices and an amount for subsidy applicable to subject goods exported to Canada. The CBSA did not receive a response to the RFIs. As such, subject goods will be subject to a ministerial specification.
Normal values and amount of subsidy
As the CBSA did not receive a response to the dumping RFI, the normal values for subject goods exported to Canada by Baoshan will be determined pursuant to the ministerial specification, under section 29 of SIMA, by advancing the export price of the goods by 166.9% (OCTG) or 91.0% (SC).
As the CBSA did not receive a response to the subsidy RFI, the amount for subsidy for Baoshan will be determined pursuant to the ministerial specification, under subsection 30.4(2) of SIMA. The amount of subsidy will be equal to 4,070 Chinese Yuan per metric tonne (OCTG) or 3,381 Chinese Yuan per metric tonne (SC).
Importer responsibility
Importers are reminded that it is their responsibility to calculate and declare their anti-dumping and countervailing duty liabilities. If importers are using the services of a customs broker to clear importations, the brokerage firm should be advised that the goods are subject to SIMA measures and be provided with sufficient information necessary to clear the shipments. To determine their anti-dumping and countervailing duty liabilities, importers should contact the exporters to obtain the applicable normal values and amount of subsidy. For further information on this matter, refer to Memorandum D14-1-2: Disclosure of Normal Values, Export Prices, and Amounts of Subsidy Established under the Special Import Measures Act.
The Customs Act (Act) applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti dumping and countervailing duties. As such, failure to pay the duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Act.
