The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced Tuesday that it is initiating investigations into the alleged injurious dumping of certain oil country tubular goods originating in or exported from Chinese Taipei, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam and the alleged injurious subsidizing of certain oil country tubular goods originating in or exported from India, Indonesia, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam.
The investigations follow a complaint filed by Tenaris Canada of Calgary, Alberta, and Evraz North America Inc. of Regina, Saskatchewan.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal will begin a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the imports are harming Canadian producers and will issue a decision by September 19, 2014. While the Tribunal is examining the question of injury, the CBSA will investigate whether the imports are being dumped and/or subsidized, and will make preliminary decisions by October 20, 2014.
