Corrosion Resistant Steel Sheet (COR) HS code under study: 7210.30, 7210.49, 7210.61, 7210.69, 7212.20, 7212.30,
On November 8, 2019, the CBSA launched an anti-dumping and anti-subsidiary investigation against imported COR steel products made in Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.
On November 16, 2020, the investigative agency ordered the imposition of the following tariffs: Turkey from 0% to 26.1% (anti-dumping duties) and from 0.4% to 3.6% (counter-subsidy duties); The UAE does not impose anti-dumping duties. and countervailing duties, Vietnam from 2.3% to 71.1% (countervailing duties are not assessed).
Since the introduction of the tariff, Vietnam’s exports to the Canadian market will be about 22,812 tons in 2020 and increase substantially by about 4 times to 87,736 tons in 2021, accounting for 2.46% and 6.48% of Canada’s total COR steel imports respectively. The value of exports in 2020 and 2021 is about US$15.37 million and US$104.86 million, respectively.
Considering that the total turnover of Vietnamese Corrosion Resistant Steel (COR) exported to Canada has increased significantly despite the fact that the tariff order has been issued and is still in effect, CBSA will initiate an administrative review (re-investigation) to determine a reasonable anti-dumping duties. January 16, 2023 Duty rate for Corrosion Corrosion Steel Sheet (COR) products.
The deadline for companies to submit questionnaires to research agencies is February 22, 2023 (Canadian time).
It is assumed that on June 5, 2023, the interested party must submit all information, opinions and arguments related to this case to the investigating authority for verification. On July 10, 2023, the CBSA is expected to issue an Administrative Review Opinion.
On January 17, 2023, the Canadian Court of International Trade announced the start of an expiration review to consider continuing to impose anti-dumping and countervailing duties on copper pipe fittings imported from Vietnam.
On October 27, 2017, CBSA launched an anti-dumping and anti-subsidiary investigation against copper pipe fittings imported from Vietnam. On May 25, 2018, the investigating authority ordered the imposition of general anti-dumping duties of 159% and 30.6% and countervailing duties of 30.6% against Vietnamese companies, which will be introduced from May 26, 2018 for a period of five years.
The above tax rate is a non-concessional tax rate that was synthesized by the research agency based on available data because Vietnamese enterprises did not fully cooperate in good faith during the investigation process.
Since Canada imposed anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on copper pipe fittings in 2018, Vietnam’s exports to this market from 2019 to 2021 amounted to about 20 tons, 16 tons and 48 tons, respectively, down about 87 tons compared to last year. times. Before the investigation in 2017, the time was 1745 tons.
In 2021, the export value of Vietnamese copper pipe fittings to Canada will be only about 281,000 US dollars, which is about 0.15% of the total imports of these products to Canada (191.41 million US dollars).
Accordingly, considering that the total export volume of Vietnamese copper pipe fittings to Canada has decreased significantly in recent years, which may reduce the damage to the domestic copper pipe industry in Canada, CBSA has initiated an administrative review of copper pipe fittings manufactured in Vietnam. From Vietnam on January 16, 2023.
Deadline for registration of parties to the case: January 31, 2023 (Canadian time). Deadline for Vietnamese exporters to submit application forms to the investigating agency: February 23, 2023 (Canadian time).
On March 22, 2023, the relevant parties are expected to submit all their information, opinions and arguments regarding the retention or cessation of applicable trade protection tax rates to the investigating authority for review.
