Tribunal Initiates Expiry Review—Copper Pipe Fittings from the United States, Korea and China

Ottawa, Ontario, November 8, 2021—The Canadian International Trade Tribunal today initiated an expiry review of its orders made on November 28, 2016, in expiry review No. RR-2015-003, to determine if the expiry of the orders is likely to lead to continued or resumed dumping of copper pipe fittings from the United States of America, the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China, and subsidizing of such goods originating from the People’s Republic of China, and is likely to result in injury.

On April 7, 2022, the Canada Border Services Agency will determine if there is a likelihood of resumed or continued dumping or subsidizing. In the event of positive determinations, the Tribunal will determine, on September 14, 2022, whether the continued or resumed dumping or subsidizing 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 Form I – Notice of Participation.
