Tribunal maintains injury finding on steel plate from three countries

November 13, 2019

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal announced the continuation of its finding in respect of the dumping of hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy steel plate originating in or exported from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Romania. The Tribunal's finding imposed anti-dumping duties on these goods in 2004 and has been renewed several times.

In May 2019 the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) had determined that the expiry of the Tribunal's findings was likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the subject goods.

The Tribunal found that the resumption of dumping was likely to result in injury to Canadian industry. The CBSA will therefore continue to impose anti-dumping duties on this product.
