Canadian Tribunal to Sustain Hot Rolled Plate Duties
01/12/2009 - The Canadian International Trade Tribunal will sustain antidumping duties on dumped hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy steel plate from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Romania.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has announced that it will sustain antidumping duties on dumped hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy steel plate from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Romania. As a result of the Tribunal’s decision, the Canada Border Services Agency will continue to impose anti-dumping duties on these products.
The Tribunal’s decision follows the expiry review of its January 2004 finding on dumped hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy steel plate from the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Romania. Product covered by the case includes hot rolled plate in widths from 24 to 152 inches, and thicknesses from 0.187 to 4 inches.
In its expiry review, the Tribunal found that the dumping of the products from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Romania was likely to result in injury.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) 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.
