CBSA announces changes to the anti-dumping/countervailing on stainless steel sinks from China

On July 7, 2016 the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) concluded its re-investigation of the normal values, export prices and the amounts of subsidy of certain stainless steel sinks originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.

Subject goods are defined as “Stainless steel sinks with a single drawn bowl having a volume between 1,600 and 5,000 cubic inches (26,219.30 and 81,935.32 cubic centimetres) or with multiple drawn bowls having a combined volume between 2,200 and 6,800 cubic inches (36,051.54 and 111,432.04 cubic centimetres), excluding sinks fabricated by hand.  These goods are usually classified under the following HS classification numbers: 7324.10.00.11, 7324.10.00.19, 7324.10.00.21, 7324.10.00.29

The Notice of Conclusion provides a listing of Exporters that have obtained normal values for anti-dumping duty as well as additional product information.

Importations of subject goods from non-cooperative exporters or for subject goods for which normal values have not been established will attract a rate of anti-dumping duty of 103.1% of the export price and an additional rate of countervailing duty of 264.94 Renminbi per unit.

Exporters that have been provided with specific normal values effective July 7, 2016 include:

  • Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware Industrial Co. Ltd.
  • Guangdong Yingao Kitchen Utensils Co. Ltd.
