Expiry Review No.: RR-2008-001
Hollow Structural Sections

On April 9, 2008, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its finding made on December 23, 2003, in Inquiry No. NQ-2003-001, concerning certain structural tubing originating in or exported from the Republic of Korea (South Korea), the Republic of South Africa (South Africa) and the Republic of Turkey (Turkey ).

As a result, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated an investigation on April 10, 2008, to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods.

The investigation has now been completed and on August 7, 2008, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, the CBSA has determined that the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods from South Korea, South Africa and Turkey .

A Statement of Reasons containing additional details concerning the determination made by the CBSA will be issued within fifteen days.  The Statement of Reasons will be posted at the following website:
www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/er-rre/menu-eng.html.

The Tribunal will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in injury or retardation to the Canadian industry, and will make its decision by December 22, 2008.
