Carbon steel welded pipe 2 - CSWP2 2020 UP1
Notice of normal value and export price review
Ottawa, July 23, 2020
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated a normal value review to update the normal values and export prices applicable to certain carbon steel welded pipe (CSWP) exported to Canada from Thailand by Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Saha).
The normal value review is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) order issued on October 15, 2018 in Expiry Review No. RR-2017-005, respecting the dumping of certain carbon steel welded pipe from the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei), India, Oman, South Korea, Thailand and the UAE, in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).
The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT finding are contained in Appendix 1 (subject goods).
Should the exporter decide to participate in this normal value review, it is required to provide a complete and accurate response to the CBSA’s request for information (RFI) by August 31, 2020. The exporter will be considered co-operative if the requested information is complete, submitted on time and the exporter permits verification of the data.
If the exporter does not provide a complete response to the RFI by the deadline date, any previous normal values issued to the exporter will be immediately revoked and normal values applicable to subject goods exported by Saha will be determined by advancing the export price of the goods by 54.2%, pursuant to a ministerial specification.
The schedule for this normal value review is available at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/up/menu-eng.html. The CBSA will close the record for this normal value review at any time during the proceeding, without advance notice, once it has been determined that sufficient information has been received to make a decision. Therefore, interested parties are encouraged to provide any and all information that they feel is relevant to this review to the CBSA as early as possible. The CBSA will update the website to announce that the record has been closed. Interested parties will have seven days from the close of the record to file submissions concerning the normal value review.
Normal values established during this review will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after the date of the conclusion of the normal value review. Normal values currently in place for the named exporter will expire on that date. Information received as part of this review may also be used to determine normal values and export prices applicable to any requests for re-determination of importations of subject goods that have not been processed prior to the conclusion of normal value review, regardless of the date that the requests were received.
The normal values and export prices determined as a result of this review may be applied retroactively where the following conditions described are met. Exporters with normal values are required to promptly inform the CBSA in writing of changes to domestic prices, costs, market conditions or terms of sale associated with the production and sales of the goods. All parties are cautioned that where there are increases in domestic prices, and/or costs as noted above, the export price for sales to Canada should be increased accordingly to ensure that any sale made to Canada is not only above the normal value but at or above selling prices and full costs and profit of the goods in the exporter’s domestic market. If exporters did not properly notify the CBSA of any such changes, did not adjust export prices accordingly, or did not provide the information required to make any necessary adjustments to normal values and export prices, retroactive assessments of anti-dumping or countervailing duties may be warranted.
