CITT issues preliminary injury determination on certain small power transformers

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), on June 14, 2021, determined that the alleged injurious dumping of certain small liquid dielectric transformers originating in or exported Austria, Taiwan, and Korea have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury to the Canadian domestic industry.

This preliminary injury inquiry follows the notification on April 15, 2021, that the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) had initiated investigations into the alleged injurious dumping of the above-mentioned goods.

The complete product definition including exclusions are contained in the CITT Preliminary Determination of Injury.

The subject goods, since 2019 are normally classified under HS codes 8504.22.00.20 & 8504.23.00.10.00. Incomplete small power transformers and parts and components thereof may also be classified under HS codes 8504.90.90.10, 8504.90.90.82 & 8504.90.90.90. These HS codes are listed for convenience of reference only. Pease refer to the product definition for authoritative details regarding the subject goods.

A preliminary determination by CBSA of dumping can be expected within 30 days, at which time, depending on CBSA’s decision, provisional duties may commence.

The statement of reasons containing additional details of the determination will be posted on CITT’s website within 15 days.
