SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT
Oil and gas well casing — Decision
On May 4, 2026, pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made a preliminary determination of dumping of oil and gas well casing originating in or exported from the Republic of Austria.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will conduct a full inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry and will make an order or finding no later than 120 days after its receipt of the notice of the preliminary determination of dumping.
Pursuant to section 8 of SIMA, provisional duties may be payable on the subject goods that are released from the CBSA during the period commencing May 4, 2026, and ending on the earlier of the day the investigation is terminated, the day on which the CITT makes an order or finding, or the day an undertaking is accepted.
In this investigation, the CBSA considers that the imposition of provisional duties is not necessary to prevent injury, retardation or threat of injury.
