EXPIRY REVIEW OF ORDERS
Circular copper tube
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 (RR-2024-004) of its orders made on September 25, 2019, in expiry review RR-2018-005, continuing, without amendment, its findings made on December 18, 2013, in inquiry NQ-2013-004, concerning the dumping of circular copper tube with an outer diameter from 0.2 inches to 4.25 inches (0.502 centimetres to 10.795 centimetres), excluding industrial and coated or insulated copper tubes, originating in or exported from the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Hellenic Republic, the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and the United Mexican States, and the subsidizing of those goods originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (the subject goods).
In this expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will first determine whether the expiry of the orders 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 orders 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 January 9, 2025. The Tribunal will issue its order and its statement of reasons no later than June 18, 2025.
Each person or government wishing to participate in this expiry review must file Form I—Notice of Participation with the Tribunal by August 27, 2024. Regarding the importance of the deadline for filing a notice of participation, please read carefully the “Support by domestic producers” section in 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, by August 27, 2024. The Tribunal will issue a list of participants shortly thereafter.
On March 3, 2025, 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 hearing relating to this expiry review commencing on April 7, 2025. The type of hearing will be communicated at a later date.
Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding the Tribunal’s portion of this expiry review should be addressed to the Registry, Canadian International Trade Tribunal Secretariat, at citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca or you may reach the Registry at 613‑993‑3595.
