Steel fasteners from China and Chinese Taipei assigned new values
Revision may result in a change to duties being assessed on importations of these goods.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) concluded on November 14 a re-investigation to update the normal values and export prices respecting certain carbon steel fasteners originating in or exported from China and Chinese Taipei, and the amounts of subsidy respecting the goods originating in or exported from China.
This re-investigation is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s order made ion January 2005 (and reconducted several times since) respecting the dumping and/or subsidizing of steel fasteners from China and Chinese Taipei.
The revised normal values and amounts of subsidy will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after November 14, 2019. All normal values and amounts of subsidy previously in place expire on this date. In addition, the normal values and amounts of subsidy determined on the basis of the re-investigation will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this re-investigation.
In its Notice the CBSA reminds importers that it is their responsibility to calculate and declare their anti-dumping and/or countervailing duty liability. When importers are using the services of a customs broker to clear importations, the brokerage firm should be advised that the goods are subject to anti-dumping and/or countervailing measures and be provided with sufficient information necessary to clear the shipments.
