Tribunal Initiates Expiry Review—Seamless Carbon or Alloy Steel Oil and Gas Well Casing from China 

Ottawa, Ontario, January 19, 2018—The Canadian International Trade Tribunal today initiated an expiry review of its order made on March 11, 2013, in Expiry Review No. RR-2012-002, to determine if the continued or resumed dumping and subsidizing of seamless carbon or alloy steel oil and gas well casing from the People’s Republic of China are likely to result in injury.

On June 18, 2018, the Canada Border Services Agency will determine if there is a likelihood of resumed or continued dumping and subsidizing. In the event of a positive determination, the Tribunal will determine, on November 26, 2018, whether the continued or resumed dumping and subsidizing are likely to result in injury.

The Tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It hears cases on dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, complaints about federal government procurement and appeals of customs and excise tax rulings. When requested by the federal government, the Tribunal also provides advice on other economic, trade and tariff matters.

Any interested person, association or government that wishes to participate in the Tribunal’s expiry review may do so by filing a Notice of Participation with the Tribunal on or before July 3, 2018.
