The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) advised on February 24, 2020, that they have initiated an expiry review of its finding made on April 2, 2015, concerning the dumping and subsidizing of certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) originating in or exported from Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Korea, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam.

Concurrently, on February 25, 2020, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an expiry review investigation to determine whether the expiry of the above finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the subject goods

For detailed product descriptions, including exclusions and the tariff classifications of the subject goods, please refer to the Measures in Force.
