The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has announced that it has launched an antidumping (AD) duty investigation on corrosion-resistant (CORE) steel sheet from Turkish steelmaker Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş.
The CBSA will determine whether the products in question from Borçelik are being dumped and will make a preliminary decision within 90 days. Also, its statement of reasons will be shared within 15 days.
The products under review currently fall under Harmonized System (HS) tariff classification numbers 7210.30.00.00, 7210.49.00.40, 7210.49.00.50, 7210.49.00.60, 7210.49.00.70, 7210.61.00.10, 7210.61.00.20, 7210.69.00.10, 7210.69.00.20, 7212.20.00.10, 7212.20.00.20, 7212.20.00.30, 7212.20.00.40, 7212.30.00.10, 7212.30.00.20, 7212.30.00.30, 7212.30.00.40, 7212.50.00.30, 7212.50.00.40, 7212.50.00.50, 7212.50.00.60, 7225.91.00.10, 7225.91.00.20, 7225.91.00.30, 7225.91.00.40, 7225.92.00.10, 7225.92.00.20, 7225.92.00.30, 7225.92.00.40, 7226.99.00.11, 7226.99.00.12, 7226.99.00.13, and 7226.99.00.19.
According to a separate statement released by Turkey’s General Directorate of Imports under the Ministry of Commerce, Canada has been applying antidumping and countervailing measures on corrosion-resistant steel from Turkey since 2020. Since the dumping margin was calculated at two percent in the previous investigation, Borçelik was exempted from antidumping duties.
Along with the CBSA, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will determine whether the imports of the given products cause injury to the domestic industry and will make a preliminary decision within 60 days. Also, the CBSA will examine whether there is a “particular market situation” in Turkey’s corrosion-resistant steel industry.
