Notice of initiation of administrative review: Small and Large Power Transformers (SLPT 2026 UP1)
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated an administrative review to determine the normal values and export prices of small and large power transformers originating in or exported from South Korea by Iljin Electric Co., Ltd. and of small power transformers originating in or exported from the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei) by Shihlin Electric & Engineering Corporation.
The review follows a request for re-determination filed by an importer and is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) finding and order issued on December 24, 2021 and December 20, 2023, respectively, concerning the dumping of small power transformers from South Korea and Chinese Taipei and the dumping of large power transformers from South Korea, 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 finding and order (subject goods) can be found on the CBSA’s Small Power Transformers: Measures in force and Large Power Transformers: Measures in force.
Normal values and export prices 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 and export prices determined on the basis of the review will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this review.
Should an exporter decide to participate in this review, they are required to provide complete and accurate responses to the CBSA’s RFIs by February 25, 2026, by 5:00 p.m. ET. An 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 an exporter does not provide sufficient information to determine specific normal values or does not permit verification of information submitted, anti-dumping duties will be assessed in accordance with a ministerial specification pursuant to section 29 of SIMA at a rate of 73.1% or 21.3% for subject small power transformers from South Korea and Chinese Taipei, respectively, and 101% for subject large power transformers from South Korea, expressed as a percentage of the export price of the subject goods imported into Canada.
Exporters that are not the manufacturers of the subject goods (e.g. trading companies, vendors, etc.) will receive normal values only to the extent that their suppliers/manufacturers provide sufficient information to permit the determination of normal values and export prices.
Responses to the importer RFI are due by February 9, 2026, 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 their 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.
This administrative review will be initiated by CBSA through the 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.
