CBSA Concludes Re-investigation of Normal Values and Export Prices of Liquid Dielectric Transformers

On July 5, 2017 the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) concluded a re-investigation of the normal values and export prices of certain liquid dielectric transformers originating in or exported from Korea.

Subject goods are defined as “Liquid dielectric transformers having a top power handling capacity equal to or exceeding 60,000 kilovolt amperes (60 megavolt amperes), whether assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, originating in or exported from the Republic of Korea”.

The subject goods are usually classified under HS classification numbers: 8504.23.00.00, 8504.90.90.10, 8504.90.90.82, 8504.90.90.90.

Note that this listing of HS codes is for convenience of reference only. Refer to the product definition for authoritative details regarding the subject goods.

Effective July 5, 2017, specific normal values for shipments of subject transformers to Canada are to be determined based on updated information for all exporters that provided a complete submission.

These exporters are:

  • Hyosung Corporation
  • Hyundai Electric and Energy Systems Co., Ltd. (A new entity spun off from Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. on April 1, 2017)

Where sufficient information is not available to determine a specific normal value, normal values for future shipments will be determined by ministerial specification, which is calculated by advancing the export price of the goods by 101%. For all exporters of subject goods not listed above, normal values will be determined by this ministerial specification.

Normal values previously in place are now expired. In addition, the normal values determined on the basis of the re-investigation will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this re-investigation.

Additional information on subject goods and the re-investigation itself is found in the CBSA Notice of Conclusion of Re-investigation.
