EXPIRY REVIEW OF ORDER
Stainless steel sinks
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal gives notice that, pursuant to subsection 76.03(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), it will initiate an expiry review (Expiry review RR-2022-002) of its order made on February 8, 2018, in expiry review RR-2017-001, continuing, without amendment, its finding made on May 24, 2012, in inquiry NQ-2011-002, concerning the dumping and subsidizing of stainless steel sinks with a single drawn bowl having a volume between 1 600 and 5 000 cubic inches (26 219.30 and 81 935.32 cubic centimetres) or with multiple drawn bowls having a combined volume between 2 200 and 6 800 cubic inches (36 051.54 and 111 432.04 cubic centimetres), excluding sinks fabricated by hand, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (the subject goods). Also excluded from the Tribunal’s order are stainless steel sinks with a single drawn bowl or double drawn bowls and a 1 1/4-inch by 3/4-inch (32-millimetre by 19-millimetre) cast-resin matrix rim that replaces a stainless steel rim, for undermount seamless installation in countertops.
In this expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will first determine whether the expiry of the order in respect of the subject goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing 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 or subsidizing, the Tribunal will then determine if the continued or resumed dumping or subsidizing is likely to result in injury to the domestic industry. The CBSA will provide notice of its determinations within 150 days after receiving notice of the Tribunal’s initiation of the expiry review, that is, no later than April 27, 2023. The Tribunal will issue its order and its statement of reasons no later than October 4, 2023.
Each person or government wishing to participate in this expiry review must file Form I—Notice of Participation with the Tribunal, on or before December 13, 2022. Regarding the importance of the deadline to file a notice of participation, please read carefully the section titled “Support by domestic producers” in the document titled “Additional information” appended to the notice available on the Tribunal’s website. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the expiry review must file Form II—Notice of Representation and Form III—Declaration and Undertaking with the Tribunal, on or before December 13, 2022. The Tribunal will issue a list of participants shortly thereafter.
On June 19, 2023, the Tribunal will distribute the record to participants. Counsel and self-represented participants are required to serve their respective submissions on each other on the dates outlined below. Public submissions are to be served on counsel and those participants who are not represented by counsel. Confidential submissions are to be served only on counsel who have access to the confidential record, and who have filed Form III—Declaration and Undertaking with the Tribunal. This information will be included in the list of participants. One complete electronic version of all submissions must be filed with the Tribunal.
The Tribunal will hold a public hearing relating to this expiry review commencing on July 24, 2023. The type of hearing will be communicated at a later date. If there are no opposing parties, the Tribunal may explore the possibility of holding a file hearing, i.e. a hearing through written submissions only, instead of an oral hearing.
Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding the Tribunal’s portion of this matter should be addressed to the Registry, Canadian International Trade Tribunal Secretariat, at citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca or you may reach us at 613‑993‑3595.
