CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY

SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Heavy plate — Decision

On August 18, 2020, pursuant to subsection 39(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) extended the preliminary phase of the investigation into the alleged injurious dumping of certain hot-rolled carbon steel heavy plate and high-strength low-alloy steel heavy plate from the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei), Germany, South Korea, Malaysia, and Turkey.

SIMA provides that, under normal circumstances, the preliminary stage of the investigation shall be completed within 90 days of the date of initiation. However, due to the existence of circumstances that, in the opinion of the CBSA, make it unusually difficult to decide within 90 days whether to make a preliminary determination of dumping or to terminate the investigation with respect to some or all of the goods, the period has been extended to 135 days, pursuant to subsection 39(1) of SIMA.

Consequently, the decision to issue a preliminary determination of dumping or to terminate the investigation with respect to some or all of the goods will be made on or before October 9, 2020.

Information

For further information, contact Serena Major by telephone at 613‑948‑8581 or by email at Serena.Major@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca. Alternatively, you may contact Shawn Ryan by telephone at 902‑943‑1849 or by email at Shawn.Ryan@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca.
