The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today concluded a
re-investigation in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA),
of the normal values and export prices of certain copper tube
originating in or exported from the Federative Republic of Brazil, the
Hellenic Republic, the People's Republic of China (China), the Republic
of Korea and the United Mexican States and the amounts of subsidy of
certain copper tube from China.
The re-investigation was initiated on September 2, 2014, as part of the
ongoing enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal's
finding of material injury of December 18, 2013.
The subject goods are described as circular copper tube with an outer
diameter of 0.2 inch to 4.25 inches (0.502 centimetre to 10.795
centimetres) excluding industrial and coated or insulated copper tube,
originating in or exported from the Federative Republic of Brazil, the
Hellenic Republic, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea
and the United Mexican States.
The subject goods are generally classified under the following 10-digit
Harmonized System (HS) classification numbers: 7411.10.00.10;
7411.10.00.20
The subject goods may also be classified under the following HS
classification numbers: 7411.10.00.31; 7411.10.00.39
At the initiation of the re-investigation, the CBSA sent Requests for
Information (RFI) to importers, exporters and vendors, to solicit
information on the costs and selling prices of subject and like goods as
well as any subsidy programs that may be applicable to subject goods.
The information was requested for purposes of updating the normal
values, export prices and amounts of subsidy for subject goods imported
into Canada.
A complete response to the CBSA's dumping exporter RFIs was submitted by
Halcor Metal Works S.A. (Halcor) and NungWon Metal Ind. Co., Ltd. (Nungwon).
As a result, both Halcor and Nungwon have been provided with updated
normal values applicable to subject goods released from the CBSA on or
after January 30, 2015, and to entries of subject goods under appeal
that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this
re-investigation.
A response to the CBSA's dumping exporter RFI was also received from
York International Corp. after the deadline of October 10, 2014. Upon
review of the submission the CBSA determined that the submission was
substantially incomplete. As such, the submission was not taken into
consideration for purposes of this re-investigation.
All normal values and amounts of subsidy previously in place expire on
January 30, 2015.
