The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has announced that it has initiated a normal value review to update the normal values and export prices applicable to certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and certain seamless casing exported to Canada by Chinese companies HG Tubulars Ltd and Shandong Molong Petroleum Machinery Co., Ltd.
The CBSA stated that the normal value review is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) finding of a threat of injury with respect to the dumping of certain OCTG and certain seamless carbon or alloy steel oil and gas well casing from China, issued on March 2, 2015 and November 28, 2018, respectively.
According to the CBSA, if the exporter does not provide a complete response to the CBSA’s Request for Information (RFI) by the deadline date, normal values for subject goods exported by the two Chinese companies will continue to be determined by advancing the export price of the goods by 166.9 percent for OCTG and 91 percent for seamless casing.
The products in question currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7304.29.00.31, 7304.29.00.39, 7304.29.00.81, 7304.29.00.89, 7304.39.00.60, 7304.59.00.50, 7306.29.00.11, 7306.29.00.19, 7306.29.00.51, 7306.29.00.59, 7306.29.00.61 and 7306.29.00.69.
The CBSA’s normal value reviews are conducted to ensure that normal values and export prices in place accurately reflect current market conditions.
