CBSA concludes re-investigation of values of certain concrete reinforcing bar from Turkey

May 10, 2023

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced it has concluded a re-investigation to update the normal values and export prices of certain concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) originating in or exported from the Republic of Turkey (Trkiye), in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act.

It should be noted that, as part of the re-investigation, the CBSA formed the opinion that a particular market situation exists with respect to the rebar market in Trkiye, which does not permit a proper comparison with the sales of the goods to the importer in Canada.

The re-investigation was initiated on September 8, 2022, as part of the CBSA's ongoing enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal's order issued on October 14, 2020.

CBSA reminds importers that it is their responsibility to calculate and declare their anti-dumping and countervailing duty liability. If importers are using the services of a customs broker to clear importations, the brokerage firm should be advised that the goods are subject to anti-dumping and countervailing measures and be provided with sufficient information necessary to clear the shipments.

To determine their liability for anti-dumping and countervailing duty, importers should contact the exporters to obtain the applicable normal values and amounts of subsidy.
