After completing its preliminary injury inquiry the Canadian International Trade Tribunal announced that it found a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of corrosion-resistant steel sheet from Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury to Canadian industry.

On November 8, 2019 the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an investigation into the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of the goods in question following a complaint filed by a Canadian manufacturer.

Now that the Tribunal ruled on the question of injury, the CBSA will investigate to confirm that the imports are indeed being dumped and subsidized and will make a preliminary determination by February 6, 2020.

Provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duties could soon be applicable to imports of the goods under investigation. In such a case the preliminary decisions of the Tribunal and the CBSA will have to be confirmed by final decisions.
