CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

COMMENCEMENT OF PRELIMINARY INJURY INQUIRY

Stainless steel sinks

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on October 27, 2011, from the Director General of the Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) stating that the President of the CBSA had initiated investigations into a complaint respecting the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of stainless steel sinks with a single drawn bowl having a volume between 1 600 and 5 000 cubic inches (26 219.30 and 81 935.32 cubic centimetres) or with multiple drawn bowls having a combined volume between 2 200 and 6 800 cubic inches (36 051.54 and 111 432.04 cubic centimetres), excluding sinks fabricated by hand, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (the subject goods).

Pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated a preliminary inquiry (Preliminary Injury Inquiry No. PI-2011-002) to determine whether the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA.

The Tribunal’s preliminary injury inquiry will be conducted by way of written submissions. Each person or government wishing to participate in the preliminary injury inquiry must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before November 10, 2011. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the preliminary injury inquiry must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before November 10, 2011.

On November 16, 2011, the Tribunal will distribute the public information received from the CBSA to all parties that have filed notices of participation, and the confidential information to counsel who have filed a declaration and undertaking with the Secretary.

Submissions by parties opposed to the complaint must be filed not later than noon, on November 24, 2011. These submissions should include evidence, e.g. documents and sources that support the factual statements in the submissions, and argument concerning the questions of

  • whether there are goods produced in Canada, other than those identified in the CBSA’s statement of reasons for initiating the investigations, that are like goods to the subject goods;
  • whether the subject goods comprise more than one class of goods;
  • which domestic producers of like goods comprise the domestic industry; and
  • whether the information before the Tribunal discloses a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods have caused injury or retardation, or are threatening to cause injury.

The complainants may make submissions in response to the submissions of parties opposed to the complaint not later than noon, on December 2, 2011. At that time, parties in support of the complaint may also make submissions to the Tribunal.

Parties should note that the Tribunal does not consider exclusion requests during a preliminary injury inquiry, and, therefore, none should be filed at this stage. Should the matter proceed to a final inquiry, particulars regarding the schedule for filing exclusion requests will be included in the notice of commencement of inquiry.

Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why that information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such a summary cannot be made. (See Procedural Guidelines for the Designation and Use of Confidential Information in Canadian International Trade Tribunal Proceedings available on the Tribunal’s Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca.)

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.

All submissions must be filed with the Tribunal in 25 copies. The Tribunal will distribute the public submissions to all parties that have filed notices of participation and any confidential submissions to counsel who have filed a declaration and undertaking.

The Secretary has sent the notice of commencement of preliminary injury inquiry and the preliminary injury inquiry schedule to the domestic producers, to importers and to exporters with a known interest in the preliminary injury inquiry. The notice and schedule of key preliminary injury inquiry events are available on the Tribunal’s Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca.

Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding this notice should be addressed to the Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (email).

Parties and the public may file documents electronically with the Tribunal through its Secure E-filing Service at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/apps/index_e.asp. The information is fully encrypted from the sender to the Tribunal.

Parties must still file paper copies in the required number as instructed. Where a party is required to file hard copies, the electronic version and the hard-copy version must be identical. In case of discrepancies, the hard-copy version will be considered the original.

At the end of these proceedings, the Tribunal will issue a decision supported by a summary of the case, a summary of the arguments and an analysis of the case. The decision will be posted on its Web site and distributed to the parties and interested persons, as well as to organizations and persons who have registered to receive decisions of the Tribunal.

Written and oral communication with the Tribunal may be in English or in French.
