On November 30, 2016 The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) gave notice that it has made a determination pertaining to dumping and subsidizing of oil country tubular goods pup joints made of carbon or alloy steel originating from the People’s Republic of China (China).
On August 2, 2016, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated an expiry review of its finding made on April 10, 2012, concerning the dumping and subsidizing of oil country tubular goods pup joints made of carbon or alloy steel, welded or seamless, heat-treated or not heat-treated, regardless of end finish, having an outside diameter from 2 ⅜ inches to 4 ½ inches (60.3 mm to 114.3 mm), in all grades, in lengths from 2 feet to 12 feet (61 cm to 366 cm), excluding casing pup joints, originating in or exported from China.
Following this on August 3, 2016, the CBSA initiated an expiry review investigation to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the subject goods.
The CBSA has now determined that the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of such goods originating in or exported from China; and is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of subsidizing of such goods originating in or exported from China.
The CITT is now conducting an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of its order is likely to result in injury to the Canadian industry and will issue its decision no later than April 7, 2017.
A Statement of Reasons containing additional details concerning the determination made by the CBSA will be issued within 15 days and posted on the CBSA’s website.
