Tribunal Initiates Expiry Review—Carbon Steel Welded Pipe from South Korea, Chinese Taipei, India, Oman, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates

Ottawa, Ontario, August 21, 2023—The Canadian International Trade Tribunal today initiated an expiry review of its order made on October 15, 2018, in expiry review RR‑2017‑005, continuing, without amendment, its finding made on December 11, 2012, in inquiry NQ‑2012‑003, to determine if the expiry of the order is likely to lead to continued or resumed dumping of certain carbon steel welded pipe from the Republic of Korea, Chinese Taipei, the Republic of India, the Sultanate of Oman, the Kingdom of Thailand and the United Arab Emirates or the subsidizing of the aforementioned goods originating in or exported from the Republic of India and is likely to result in injury to the domestic industry.

No later than January 18, 2024, the Canada Border Services Agency will determine if there is a likelihood of resumed or continued dumping or subsidizing. In the event of a positive determination, the Tribunal will determine, no later than June 26, 2024, whether the continued or resumed dumping or subsidizing is likely to result in injury to the domestic industry.

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.
