CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

EXPIRY OF FINDINGS

Copper pipe fittings

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice, pursuant to subsection 76.03(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), that its findings made on February 19, 2007, in Inquiry No. NQ-2006-002, concerning the dumping of solder joint pressure pipe fittings and solder joint drainage, waste and vent pipe fittings, made of cast copper alloy, wrought copper alloy or wrought copper, for use in heating, plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration applications (copper pipe fittings), originating in or exported from the United States of America, the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China and the subsidizing of copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, restricted to the products enumerated in the Appendix, are scheduled to expire (Expiry No. LE-2011-001) on February 18, 2012. Under SIMA, findings of injury or threat of injury and the associated special protection in the form of anti-dumping or countervailing duties expire five years from the date of the last order or finding, unless an expiry review has been initiated before that date.

Any firm, organization, person or government wishing to participate as a party in these proceedings must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before April 26, 2011. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in these proceedings must also file a notice of representation with the Secretary on or before April 26, 2011. Qualified counsel who wish to have access to any confidential documents filed in these proceedings must file their notices of representation, declarations and undertakings, as well as the notices of participation signed by the parties that they represent, by the same date.

Parties requesting or opposing the initiation of an expiry review of the said findings shall file 20 copies of written public submissions containing relevant information, opinions and arguments, with the Secretary of the Tribunal no later than May 2, 2011. Parties should endeavour to base their submissions on public information; however, confidential information relevant to the issues before the Tribunal may be filed, if necessary, along with a comprehensive public summary or edited version thereof.

Submissions shall include evidence, e.g. documents and sources that support the factual statements in the submissions, and argument concerning all relevant factors, including

  • the likelihood of continued or resumed dumping and subsidizing of the goods;
  • the likely volume and price ranges of dumped and subsidized imports if dumping and subsidizing were to continue or resume;
  • the domestic industry’s recent performance (data for the past three years and for the most recent interim period), including supporting data and statistics showing trends in production, sales, market share, domestic prices, costs and profits;
  • the likelihood of injury to the domestic industry if the findings were allowed to expire, having regard to the anticipated effects of a continuation or resumption of dumped and subsidized imports on the industry’s future performance;
  • any other developments affecting, or likely to affect, the performance of the domestic industry;
  • changes in circumstances, domestically or internationally, including changes in the supply of or demand for the goods, and changes in trends in, and sources of, imports into Canada; and
  • any other matter that is relevant.

Where there are opposing views, each party that filed a submission in response to the notice of expiry will be given an opportunity to respond in writing to the representations of other parties. In these circumstances, the Tribunal will distribute copies of the public submissions to each party that filed a submission with the Tribunal. Confidential submissions will be distributed by the Tribunal only to those counsel who have filed undertakings. Parties wishing to respond to the submissions must do so no later than May 16, 2011.

An expiry review at the request of any firm, organization, person or government will not be initiated unless the Tribunal decides that there is sufficient information to indicate that it is warranted.

The Tribunal will issue a decision on June 1, 2011, on whether an expiry review is warranted. If the Tribunal decides that a review is not warranted, the findings will expire on their scheduled expiry date. The Tribunal will issue its reasons no later than 15 days after its decision. If the Tribunal decides to initiate an expiry review, it will issue a notice of expiry review.

The Tribunal’s Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews can be found on its Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca. In addition to providing more detailed information on the proceeding whereby the Tribunal determines if an expiry review is warranted, the draft guideline explains how an expiry review is conducted if the Tribunal determines that one is warranted. In an expiry review, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) first determines whether the expiry of the order or finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing of the goods. If the CBSA determines that the expiry of the order or finding in respect of any goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing, the Tribunal will then conduct an inquiry to determine if the continued or resumed dumping or subsidizing is likely to result in injury or retardation.

Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding this notice should be addressed to the Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (email).

Documents may be filed electronically with the Tribunal through its Secure E-filing Service at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/apps/index_e.asp. The information is fully encrypted from the sender to the Tribunal.

Paper copies must still be filed in the required 20 copies. When a paper copy and an electronic version of the same document are filed with the Tribunal, both must be identical. In case of discrepancies, the paper copy will be considered the original.

Written and oral communication with the Tribunal may be in English or in French.
