The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) has rejected a request filed by Jayne Industries Inc. (Jayne) for the initiation of an interim review of the findings made by the CITT concerning dumping of certain
stainless steel
wire imports from South
Korea,
Switzerland and the US.
On October 30, 2006, the CITT received a request from Jayne Industries Inc. for an interim review of the tribunal's findings made on July 30, 2004, with respect to certain
stainless steel
wire. In its request, Jayne sought a product exclusion for
stainless steel
wire manufactured to ASTM standards A484/A and A479-479M-95A, referred to as 304s/s, 309s/s, 310s/s and 316 s/s, in diameters of 0.250 inch and 0.188 inch, claiming that it is unable to compete with US manufacturers that export the subject goods to
Canada.
An interim review may be warranted where there is a reasonable indication that sufficient new facts have arisen or that there has been a sufficient change in the circumstances that led to the order or finding. However, the CITT has decided that the submissions made by Jayne failed to contain any new facts that may have arisen since it made its findings in the inquiry, nor did the submissions contain any evidence of a change in circumstances since the inquiry.
Accordingly, the CITT has decided not to conduct an interim review of its findings made on July 30, 2004.
