Tribunal Initiates Expiry Review—Cold-rolled Steel from China, Korea and Vietnam

Ottawa, Ontario, November 14, 2024—The Canadian International Trade Tribunal today initiated an expiry review of its finding made on December 21, 2018, in inquiry NQ-2018-002, to determine if the expiry of the finding is likely to lead to continued or resumed dumping or subsidizing of cold-rolled steel from the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and is likely to result in injury to the domestic industry.

No later than April 12, 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 September 19, 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.
