SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT
Cold-rolled steel — Decisions
On October 31, 2018, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(b) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made final determinations of dumping and subsidizing concerning certain cold-rolled steel in coils or cut lengths from China, South Korea and Vietnam.
The subject goods are usually classified under the following tariff classification numbers:
- 7209.15.00.00
- 7209.16.00.00
- 7209.17.00.00
- 7209.18.00.00

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) is continuing its inquiry into the question of injury to the domestic industry and it will make a finding by December 21, 2018. Provisional duties will continue to be applied on imports of dumped and subsidized subject goods until the CITT concludes its inquiry and issues its finding.
If the CITT finds that the dumping and/or subsidizing have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury, anti-dumping duty and/or countervailing duty will be applied to future importations of the subject goods. In that event, the importer in Canada shall pay such duties.
The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping and countervailing duty.
Information
The Statement of Reasons regarding these decisions will be issued within 15 days following the decisions and will be available on the CBSA website or by contacting Mr. Sean Robertson by telephone at 613-954-7409.

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal made a determination (File No. PR-2018-019) on October 31, 2018, with respect to a complaint filed by Rescue 7 Inc., of Markham, Ontario, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. 47 (4th Supp.), concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. 47419-188627/B) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Canada Border Services Agency.

EXPIRY REVIEW OF ORDER
Thermoelectric containers
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal hereby gives notice that it will, pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiate an expiry review (Expiry Review No. RR-2018-004) of its order made on December 9, 2013, in Expiry Review No. RR-2012-004, continuing, without amendment, its finding made on December 11, 2008, in Inquiry No. NQ-2008-002, concerning the dumping and subsidizing of thermoelectric containers that provide cooling and/or warming with the use of a passive heat sink and a thermoelectric module, excluding liquid dispensers, originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China. This order is scheduled to expire on December 8, 2018, unless the Tribunal has initiated an expiry review.
In this expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will first determine whether the expiry of the order in respect of the subject goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods. If the CBSA determines that the expiry of the order in respect of any goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and subsidizing, the Tribunal will then conduct an expiry review to determine if the continued or resumed dumping and subsidizing are likely to result in injury. The CBSA will provide notice of its determinations within 150 days after receiving notice of the Tribunal's decision to initiate an expiry review, that is, no later than March 29, 2019. The Tribunal will issue its order and its statement of reasons no later than September 5, 2019.
Each person or government wishing to participate in this expiry review must file a notice of participation with the Tribunal on or before April 15, 2019. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the expiry review must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Tribunal on or before April 15, 2019.
The schedule for this expiry review is found on the Tribunal's website.
The Tribunal will hold a public hearing relating to this expiry review in the Tribunal's Hearing Room No. 1, 18th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing on June 24, 2019, at 9:30 a.m., to hear evidence and representations by interested parties. If there are no opposing parties, the Tribunal may explore the possibility of holding a file hearing, i.e. a hearing through written submissions only, instead of an oral hearing.
In accordance with section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must, among other things, submit a non-confidential edited version or summary of the information designated as confidential, or a statement indicating why such a summary cannot be made.
Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding the Tribunal's portion of this matter should be addressed to the Registrar, Canadian International Trade Tribunal Secretariat, 333 Laurier Avenue West, 15th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca (email).
Further details regarding this expiry review, including the schedule of key events, are contained in the documents entitled "Additional Information" and "Expiry Review Schedule" appended to the notice of commencement of expiry review available on the Tribunal's website.
