The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced that it continued the final determination of dumping with respect to certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) originating in or exported from South Korea and Turkey with some amendments.
The CBSA also continued the final determination of dumping with respect to certain hot-rolled steel plate (HRSP) originating in or exported from South Korea, with an amendment.
As a result of the CBSA's decisions, OCTG exported to Canada from South Korea by Hyundai Steel and from Turkey by Borusan, as well as HRSP exported to Canada from South Korea by Hyundai Steel will no longer be subject to anti-dumping duty.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) is continuing its review into the question of injury to the domestic industry. The CITT will make its decisions by September 28, 2020 respecting OCTG and by October 14, 2020 respecting HRSP.
If the CITT reaffirms its threat of injury findings, OCTG (excluding those goods exported by Hyundai Steel and Borusan) and HRSP (excluding those goods exported by Hyundai Steel) will continue to be subject to anti-dumping duties. If the CITT rescinds its threat of injury findings in whole or in part, such imports will no longer be subject to anti-dumping duties.
The reviews are the result of recommendations and rulings from the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Dispute Settlement Body concerning termination of investigations in respect of individual exporters with de minimis margins of dumping.
