The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has announced that a retroactive assessment of measures on rebar imported from Turkey during the July 2021-August 2022 period could be required in some cases.
The CBSA has taken this decision based on the findings during a re-investigation it launched on September 8 last year. The measures in force are equal to 41.0 percent of the export price, which will expire on October 13, 2025.
The products in question currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7213.10.00.11, 7213.10.00.12, 7213.10.00.13, 7213.10.00.90, 7214.20.00.11, 7214.20.00.12, 7214.20.00.13, 7214.20.00.14, 7214.20.00.21, 7214.20.00.22, 7214.20.00.23, 7214.20.00.24, 7214.20.00.31, 7214.20.00.32, 7214.20.00.33, 7214.20.00.34, 7214.20.00.90, 7215.90.00.20, 7215.90.00.30, 7227.90.00.50, 7228.30.00.51, 7228.30.00.52, and 7228.30.00.53.
