Notice of conclusion of expedited review: Photovoltaic Modules and Laminates (SML 2024 XR)
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today concluded an expedited review of certain photovoltaic modules and laminates originating in or exported from China by Ningbo Raytech New Energy Materials Co., Ltd. (Raytech), in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).
This expedited review was initiated on May 27, 2024, and is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) orders, respecting the dumping and subsidizing of photovoltaic modules and laminates from China.
The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT order 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 April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024.
Expedited review process
At the initiation of this review, the CBSA sent dumping and subsidy Requests for Information (RFI) to Raytech. 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 received a response to the RFIs from Raytech, however, the submission did not include a proper non-confidential version and therefore did not comply with paragraph 85(1)(b) of SIMA, and as a result, was not taken into consideration for purposes of this expedited review. As such, subject goods will be subject to a ministerial specification. For information on the amount of the ministerial specification please see the CBSA’s Measures in Force.
Normal values and amount of subsidy
The normal values for subject goods exported to Canada by Raytech will be determined pursuant to the ministerial specification, under section 29 of SIMA, by advancing the export price of the goods by 154.4%.
The amount for subsidy for Raytech will be determined pursuant to the ministerial specification, under subsection 30.4(2) of SIMA. The countervailing duty will be equal to 0.340 Renminbi per watt.
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.
