Government of Canada initiates SIMA investigation on drill pipe from China

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced on March 25, 2022, that it has launched a SIMA investigation into the alleged dumping and subsidizing of certain drill pipe, originating in, or exported from, China. The investigation follows a complaint filed by Command Drilling Products Ltd. (Nisku, Alberta).

Subsequently, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated a preliminary inquiry to determine if the alleged dumping and subsidizing of said goods has caused injury, or is threatening to cause injury, to Canadian manufacturers. The CITT is scheduled to make their injury determination no later than May 24, 2022.
