Tribunal Initiates Expiry Review—Liquid Dielectric Transformers from Korea

Ottawa, Ontario, July 25, 2017—The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) today initiated an expiry review of its order made on November 20, 2012, in Inquiry No. NQ-2012-001, continued without amendment by the order made on May 31, 2016, in Interim Review No. RD-2013-003, to determine if the continued or resumed dumping of liquid dielectric transformers from the Republic of Korea is likely to result in injury.

On December 22, 2017, the Canada Border Services Agency will determine if there is a likelihood of resumed or continued dumping. In the event of a positive determination, the Tribunal will determine, on May 31, 2018, whether the continued or resumed dumping is likely to result in injury.

The Tribunal 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.

Any interested person, association or government that wishes to participate in the Tribunal’s expiry review may do so by filing a Notice of Participation.
