The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has found that dumped and subsidized carbon steel welded pipe from P.R. China has caused injury to the domestic industry.
As a result of the Tribunal’s finding, the Canada Border Services Agency will collect anti-dumping and countervailing duties for these products.
The injury finding, which was the result of an investigation the Tribunal conducted under Canada’s Special Import Measures Act, covered standard pipe from ½ to 6 inches in outside diameter in various forms and finishes, originating in or exported from P.R. China. The Tribunal is scheduled to issue the reasons for its finding on September 4, 2008.
The investigation followed preliminary and final determinations from the President of the Canada Border Services Agency that these products from P.R. China had been dumped and subsidized.
The complainant in this case was ArcelorMittal of Montreal, Quebec.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It hears cases on dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, complaints about federal government procurement and appeals of customs and excise tax rulings. When requested by the federal government, the Tribunal also provides advice on other economic, trade and tariff matters.
