SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Concrete reinforcing bar — Decisions

On December 12, 2024, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(a) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) terminated the dumping investigation in respect of concrete reinforcing bar exported from Thailand by Thai Steel Profile Public Company Limited, as the goods were not dumped.

On the same day, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(b) of SIMA, the CBSA made a final determination of dumping of concrete reinforcing bar originating in or exported from Bulgaria, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates, for all other exporters for which the dumping investigation has not been terminated.

The subject goods are usually classified under the tariff classification numbers:

The above-listed tariff classifications cover both subject and non-subject goods.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will continue its inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry and will issue its decision by January 13, 2025. Provisional duties will continue to be imposed on the subject goods from Bulgaria, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates until the CITT renders its decision. However, provisional duties will no longer be imposed on imports of goods for which the dumping investigation has been terminated. Any provisional duties paid or security posted will be refunded, as appropriate.

If the CITT finds that the dumping has caused injury or are threatening to cause injury, anti-dumping duties will be applied to future importations of the subject goods. In that event, the importer in Canada shall pay such duties.

The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping duties.

Information

The Statement of Reasons regarding this decision will be issued within 15 days following the decision and will be available on the CBSA’s website.
