Notice of initiation of administrative review: Carbon Steel Fasteners (FAS 2025 UP2)
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated an administrative review (review) to determine normal values and export prices applicable to certain carbon steel fasteners (fasteners) originating in or exported from the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei) by Katsuhana Fasteners Corp. and Zyh Yin Entreprise Co., Ltd.
The review follows requests for re-determination filed by two importers and is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) order issued on September 2, 2020, respecting the dumping of fasteners originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China) and Chinese Taipei, and the subsidizing of such goods originating in or exported from China, 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’s order (subject goods) can be found on the CBSA’s Measures in force.
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 review. Normal values determined on the basis of the review will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have not yet been re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this review.
Should the exporter decide to participate in this review, it is required to provide complete and accurate responses to the CBSA’s requests for information (RFIs) by October 20, 2025, by 5:00 p.m. ET. The exporter will be considered cooperative if the requested information is complete, submitted on time and the exporter permits verification of the data. The schedule for this administrative review is now available.
If the exporter does not provide sufficient information to determine specific normal values or does not permit verification of information submitted, the normal values shall be equal to the highest normal value for that exporter as determined during the most recent update of its normal values, in accordance with a ministerial specification pursuant to section 29 of SIMA.
Responses to the importer RFI are due by October 2, 2025, by 5:00 p.m. ET. Importers are cautioned that new normal values, when issued, may be higher than those currently in effect and that this could result in additional assessments of anti-dumping duties. Importers are also cautioned that unless an exporter co-operates in the administrative review and receives specific normal values at the conclusion, subsequent imports of subject goods from that exporter will be assessed anti-dumping duties based on ministerial specifications.
All parties are cautioned that where there are increases in domestic prices, and/or costs, 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 adjust export prices accordingly, retroactive assessments of anti-dumping duty may be warranted.
As part of its administrative review, the CBSA forwarded questionnaires to importers and exporters. Any importers or exporters that have not received a letter from the CBSA that wish to provide a response to the questionnaire are advised to contact the CBSA SIMA Registry and Disclosure Unit at the email below.
This administrative review will be initiated by CBSA through the new Anti-dumping and countervailing e-filing (ACE) web application. Responses to all questionnaires must be filed through ACE. More information can be found on the ACE web application user guide.
