On August 12th, 2015, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) advised that they have initiated an expiry review concerning the dumping and subsidizing of carbon steel bar grating and alloy steel bar grating, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.
Concurrently, on August 13, 2015, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an investigation to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidization of the subject goods.
The subject goods are described as carbon steel bar grating and alloy steel bar grating consisting of load-bearing pieces and cross pieces, produced as standard grating or heavy-duty grating, in panel form, whether or not galvanized, painted, coated, clad or plated. The subject goods are normally classified under the following Harmonized System classification numbers:
7308.90.00.10, 7308.90.00.20, 7308.90.00.30, 7308.90.00.40, 7308.90.00.50, 7308.90.00.60, 7308.90.00.91, 7308.90.00.92, 7308.90.00.93, 7308.90.00.94, 7308.90.00.95, 7308.90.00.96, 7308.90.00.99
Additional Product Information:
The subject goods can be referred to as “metal bar grating”, “steel grating” or simply “bar grating”. The goods are sold in “panel” or “mat” form, produced as either standard bar grating or heavy-duty bar grating.
