On December 30, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made a preliminary determination of dumping with respect to certain sucker rods originating in or exported from Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. Provisional duties at rates of up to 48.9% have since been payable on the subject goods
On March 20, 2020, the CBSA announced that it has accepted the undertakings offered by exporting parties Metalmecanica S.A. from Argentina, Confab Industrial S.A. from Brazil, and Tubos de Acero de Mexico S.A. from Mexico.
Accordingly, the CBSA suspended the collection of provisional duties with respect to the subject goods and suspended the investigation for as long as the undertakings are in force.
An undertaking is an offer made voluntarily by an exporter to the President of the Canada Border Services Agency to increase the selling price of goods so that the margin of dumping or the injury to Canadian industry is eliminated.
Following the decision by the CBSA he Canadian International Trade Tribunal suspended its inquiry into the question of injury to Canadian industry.
