Tribunal to review expiry of anti-dumping duties on concrete reinforcing bar from three countries

December 12, 2019

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal initiated an expiry review of its finding concerning dumping of concrete reinforcing bar from China, Korea and Turkey and the subsidizing of concrete reinforcing bar from China.

The Tribunal's finding, issued in January 2015, imposed anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties on these goods originating or exported from the three countries.

In the first step of the review the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will determine, by May 7, 2020, if there is a likelihood of resumed or continued dumping and/or subsidizing of the goods if the finding is left to expire.

In the event of positive determinations by the Agency, the Tribunal will determine, by October 14, 2020, whether the continued or resumed dumping and/or subsidizing is likely to result in injury to Canadian manufacturers.
