The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has determined that the expiry of antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CV) orders is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip originating in or exported from Brazil, China, Taiwan, India and Ukraine, and the continuation or resumption of the subsidizing of such goods from India.
Furthermore, the CBSA has determined that the expiry of the orders is unlikely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods from South Africa.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of the orders is likely to result in injury or retardation to the Canadian industry, and has announced that it will issue its decision no later than August 15, 2011.
The five-year antidumping duties on imports into Canada of flat hot rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip were imposed on August 17, 2001, and extended for another five years on August 16, 2006.
Flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip are normally imported into Canada under the following harmonized system classification numbers: 7208.25.10.10, 7208.25.10.20, 7208.25.10.30, 7208.25.10.40, 7208.25.90.10, 7208.25.90.20, 7208.25.90.30, 7208.25.90.40, 7208.26.10.10, 7208.26.10.20, 7208.26.10.30, 7208.26.10.40, 7208.26.90.10, 7208.26.90.20, 7208.26.90.30, 7208.26.90.40, 7208.27.10.10, 7208.27.10.20, 208.27.10.30, 7208.27.10.40, 7208.27.90.10, 7208.27.90.20, 7208.27.90.30, 7208.27.90.40, 7208.36.00.10, 7208.36.00.20, 7208.36.00.30, 7208.36.00.40, 7208.37.10.10, 7208.37.10.20, 7208.37.10.30, 7208.37.10.40, 7208.37.90.10, 7208.37.90.20, 7208.37.90.30, 7208.37.90.40, 7208.38.10.10, 7208.38.10.20, 7208.38.10.30, 7208.38.10.40, 7208.38.90.10, 7208.38.90.20, 7208.38.90.30, 7208.38.90.40, 7208.39.00.10, 7208.39.00.20, 7208.39.00.30, 7208.39.00.40, 7208.53.00.10, 7208.53.00.20, 7208.53.00.30, 7208.53.00.40, 7208.54.00.10, 7208.54.00.20, 7208.54.00.30, 7208.54.00.40, 7208.90.00.00, 7211.13.00.00, 7211.14.00.90, 7211.19.10.00, 7211.19.90.10, 7211.19.90.90, 7211.90.10.00, 7211.90.90.90, 7225.30.20.00, 7225.30.91.00, 7225.30.99.00, 7225.40.30.00, 7225.40.91.10, 7225.40.91.20, 7225.40.91.30, 7225.40.91.40, 7225.40.99.11, 7225.40.99.19, 7225.40.99.21, 7225.40.99.91, 7225.40.99.92, 7225.40.99.93, 7225.40.99.94, 7225.99.00.90, 7226.20.00.91, 7226.20.00.92, 7226.91.10.00, 7226.91.90.20, 7226.91.90.30, 7226.91.90.40, 7226.91.90.90 and 7226.99.99.00
