SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT
Steel strapping — Decisions
On December 15, 2025, 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 steel strapping exported from South Korea by Sam Hwan Steel Co., Ltd and from Vietnam by Samhwan Vina Co., Ltd. as the goods were not dumped. Further, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(b) of the SIMA, the CBSA has made a final determination of dumping in respect of steel strapping originating in or exported from China, South Korea, TĂĽrkiye and Vietnam, for which the dumping investigation has not been terminated.
On the same day, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(b) of the SIMA, the CBSA made a final determination of subsidizing of steel strapping originating in or exported from China.
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 14, 2026. Provisional duties will continue to be imposed on the subject goods from China, South Korea, TĂĽrkiye and Vietnam 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. For those goods, any provisional duties paid or security posted will be refunded, as appropriate.
If the CITT finds that the dumping and/or subsidizing have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury, antidumping duties and/or countervailing 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 antidumping and countervailing duties.
Information
The full product definition and potential applicable tariff classification numbers are found on the CBSA’s Dumping and subsidy investigations web page. The Statement of Reasons regarding the decisions will be available within 15 days following the decisions.
