Release time：Nov 12, 2019 From：匿名

On October 28, 2019, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal initiated an expiry review of its order concerning the dumping of certain carbon steel fasteners originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China and the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu and the subsidizing of such goods originating in or exported from China. As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency has initiated an expiry review investigation to determine whether the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and/or subsidizing of the subject goods. The CBSA will make a determination no later than March 26, 2020, and will issue a Statement of Reasons by April 9, 2020.

The subject goods are defined as certain carbon steel fasteners. The subject goods are usually classified under the following tariff classification numbers 
7318.11.00.00
7318.12.00.00
7318.14.00.00
7318.15.00.10
7318.15.00.42
7318.15.00.45
7318.15.00.49

As part of its investigation, the CBSA forwarded questionnaires to Canadian producers, importers, exporters/foreign producers and to the Government of China. Any Canadian producers, importers or exporters/foreign producers who have not received a letter from the CBSA who wish to provide a response to the questionnaire are advised to contact the officers identified below. Responses to all questionnaires are due at the CBSA’s office in Ottawa by December 5, 2019.
