Changes to anti-dumping duty applied to hot rolled steel sheet and strip

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal announced its decision in the review of the dumping of flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip from Brazil, China, Chinese Taipei, India, South Africa and Ukraine and the subsidizing of flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip from India.

The majority of the Tribunal found that the expiry of the order concerning flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip from Brazil, China, Chinese Taipei, India and Ukraine would likely cause injury to the domestic industry and continued its order in respect of these goods.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will therefore continue to impose anti-dumping duties and/or countervailing on these goods.

In addition, following the determination made by the President of the CBSA on March 31, 2011, that the expiry of the Tribunal's order was unlikely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip from South Africa, the Tribunal rescinded its order in respect of these goods.

The CBSA will therefore stop collecting anti-dumping duties on hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip from South Africa.
