Oil Country Tubular Goods
Notice of Initiation of Normal Value Review

Ottawa, August 2, 2018

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated a normal value review to update the normal values and export prices of certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) exported to Canada from Indonesia by PT Citra Tubindo Tbk. (Citra Tubindo).

The normal value review is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) finding of a threat of injury issued on April 2, 2015, respecting the dumping of certain OCTG from several countries including Indonesia, 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 September 10, 2018. 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, normal values for subject goods exported by Citra Tubindo will continue to be determined by advancing the export price of the goods by 37.4%, 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 once it has been determined that sufficient information has been received to make a decision. 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 apply to subject goods released from the CBSA on or after the date of the conclusion of the normal value review. The normal values and export prices determined as a result of this review may be applied to any requests for re determination of importations of subject goods that have not been processed prior to the conclusion of the 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 conditions described below are met.

Please note that 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 duties may be warranted.
