The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated a re-investigation to update the normal values and export prices, in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), respecting certain carbon steel fasteners originating in or exported from China and Taiwan, and the amounts of subsidy respecting certain carbon steel fasteners originating in or exported from China.

This re-investigation will be concluded by November 14, 2019.

The re-investigation is part of the enforcement of the CITT’s order made on January 5, 2015, in Expiry Review No. RR-2014-001, continuing its order made on January 6, 2010 in Expiry Review No. RR-2009-001 continuing, its findings made on January 7, 2005 in Inquiry No. NQ-2004-005.

Exporters that wish to participate in this re-investigation are required to provide a complete and accurate response to the CBSA’s Request for Information (RFI) by May 13, 2019.

Where an exporter of subject goods does not provide sufficient information to determine specific normal values or does not permit verification of information submitted, anti-dumping duties will be assessed at the rate of 170% of the export price of the subject goods imported into Canada.

Similarly, in cases where the Chinese government or exporters in China fail to provide complete and accurate submissions enabling the determination of specific amounts of subsidy, countervailing duties will be assessed at the rate of 1.25 Chinese Renminbi per kilogram.

For the current re-investigation, the CBSA is contacting known and potential importers and exporters. However, any importers or exporters who have not received a letter from the CBSA with the accompanying RFI, and who wish to provide a response to the RFI, are advised to contact one of the officers identified below. Similarly, it is suggested that importers contact their exporter(s) to determine if the exporter(s) has received the Dumping RFI and whether they intend to cooperate with the CBSA in this re-investigation.
