CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

EXPIRY REVIEW OF ORDER

Bicycles

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the 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-2011-002) of its order made on December 10, 2007, in Expiry Review No. RR-2006-001, continuing, with amendment, its order made on December 9, 2002, in Expiry Review No. RR-2002-001, continuing, with amendment, its order made on December 10, 1997, in Review No. RR-97-003, continuing, with amendment, its finding made on December 11, 1992, in Inquiry No. NQ-92-002, concerning the dumping of bicycles, assembled or unassembled, with wheel diameters of 16 inches (40.64 cm) and greater, originating in or exported from Chinese Taipei and the People’s Republic of China, excluding bicycles with an FOB Chinese Taipei or People’s Republic of China selling price exceeding CAN$225 and excluding bicycles with foldable frames and stems (the subject goods).

Notice of Expiry No. LE-2011-002, issued on February 7, 2012, informed interested persons and governments of the impending expiry of the order. On the basis of the information filed, the Tribunal is of the opinion that an expiry review of the order is warranted. The Tribunal has notified the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), as well as other interested persons and governments, of its decision.

The Tribunal has issued a Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews that can be found on the Tribunal’s Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca. In this expiry review, the CBSA must determine whether the expiry of the order in respect of the subject goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping 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, the CBSA will provide the Tribunal with the information that is required under the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules. The Tribunal will then conduct an expiry review to determine if the continued or resumed dumping is likely to result in injury or retardation. The Tribunal will issue its order no later than December 7, 2012, and its statement of reasons no later than December 21, 2012.

If the CBSA determines that the expiry of the order in respect of any goods is unlikely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping, the Tribunal will not consider those goods in its subsequent determination of the likelihood of injury or retardation and will issue an order rescinding the order with respect to those goods.

The CBSA must provide notice of its determination within 120 days after receiving notice of the Tribunal’s decision to initiate an expiry review, that is, no later than July 26, 2012. The CBSA will also notify all persons or governments that were notified by the Tribunal of the commencement of an expiry review, as well as any others that participated in the CBSA’s investigation.

Letters have been sent to parties with a known interest in the expiry review providing them with the schedule respecting both the CBSA’s investigation and the Tribunal’s expiry review, should the CBSA determine that the expiry of the order in respect of any goods is likely to result in a continuation or resumption of dumping.

CBSA’s investigation

The CBSA will conduct its investigation pursuant to the provisions of SIMA and the administrative guidelines set forth in the Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate’s publication entitled Guidelines on the Conduct of Expiry Review Investigations under the Special Import Measures Act. Any information submitted to the CBSA by interested persons concerning this investigation is deemed to be public information unless clearly designated as confidential. Where a submission is confidential, a non-confidential edited version or summary of the submission must also be provided which will be disclosed to interested parties upon request.

With respect to the CBSA’s investigation, the schedule specifies, among other things, the date for the filing of replies to the expiry review questionnaires, the date on which the CBSA exhibits will be available to parties to the proceeding, the date on which the administrative record will be closed and the dates for the filing of submissions by parties in the proceeding. Further information regarding the CBSA’s investigation can be obtained by contacting the CBSA officer as mentioned below.

Tribunal’s expiry review

Should the CBSA determine that the expiry of the order in respect of any goods is likely to result in a continuation or resumption of dumping, the Tribunal will conduct its expiry review, pursuant to the provisions of SIMA and its Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews, to determine if there is a likelihood of injury or retardation. The schedule for the Tribunal’s expiry review specifies, among other things, the date for the filing of replies by domestic producers to Part E of the expiry review questionnaire, the date for the filing of updated information from domestic producers, importers and exporters to the expiry review questionnaire replies, the date on which information on the record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of participation and the dates for the filing of submissions by interested parties.

The Tribunal’s Guide to Making Requests for Product Exclusions, which can be found on the Tribunal’s Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca, describes the procedure for filing requests for specific product exclusions. This Guide also includes a form for filing requests for product exclusions and a form for any party that opposes a request to respond to such requests. This does not preclude parties from making submissions in a different format if they so wish, provided all of the information and supporting documentation requested in the forms are included. Requests to exclude goods from the order shall be filed by interested parties no later than noon on September 19, 2012. Parties opposed or consenting or not opposed to the request for exclusion shall file written reply submissions no later than noon on September 26, 2012. Should a request for a specific product exclusion be opposed, and if the interested party wishes to reply, it must do so no later than noon on October 4, 2012.

Under 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 submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why the information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential edited version or non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such an edited version or summary cannot be made.

Public hearing

The Tribunal will hold a public hearing relating to this expiry review in the Tribunal’s Hearing Room No. 1, 18th Floor, Standard Life Centre, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing October 15, 2012, at 9:30 a.m., to hear evidence and representations by interested parties.

Each interested person or government wishing to participate at the hearing as a party must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before August 9, 2012. Each counsel who intends to represent a party at the hearing must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before August 9, 2012.

To allow the Tribunal to determine whether simultaneous interpretation will be required for the hearing, each interested person or government filing a notice of participation and each counsel filing a notice of representation must advise the Secretary, at the same time that they file their notice, whether they and their witnesses will be using English or French or both languages at the hearing.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.

In order to observe and understand production processes, the Tribunal, accompanied by its staff, may conduct plant visits.
