Ottawa, Ontario, September 27, 2021—The Canadian International Trade Tribunal today initiated an expiry review of its finding made on October 20, 2016, in Inquiry No. NQ-2016-001, to determine if the expiry of the finding is likely to lead to continued or resumed dumping of welded large diameter carbon and alloy steel line pipe from the People’s Republic of China and Japan, and the subsidizing of these goods from the People’s Republic of China, and is likely to result in injury.

On February 24, 2022, the Canada Border Services Agency will determine if there is a likelihood of resumed or continued dumping and subsidizing. In the event of positive determinations, the Tribunal will determine, on August 3, 2022, whether the continued or resumed dumping and subsidizing are likely to result in injury.
