The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) is opening an inquiry into whether the dumping of certain wire rod goods from China, Egypt and Vietnam is causing injury to the domestic market, Kallanish discovers from a government notice.
The Canada Border Services Agency's Anti-dumping Programs Directorate has made a preliminary determination of dumping involving certain hot‐rolled wire rod of carbon and alloy steel. The specs are items with circular or approximately circular cross section, in coils, equal to or less than 25.5 mm in actual solid cross‐sectional diameter.
Products excluded from the list are tire cord quality wire rod, stainless steel wire rod, tool steel wire rod, high-nickel steel wire rod, ball-bearing steel wire rod and concrete reinforcing bars and rods (rebar).
Pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal initiated the inquiry to determine whether the dumping has caused or threatens to cause injury or retardation.
Each person or government entity wishing to participate in the inquiry and at the hearing as a party must file a form with CITT on or before 21 June. On 29 July, the tribunal will issue a list of participants, with a hearing relating to this inquiry on 3 September.
