IN THE MATTER OF an inquiry pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act respecting:

CONCRETE REINFORCING BAR

FINDING

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, pursuant to the provisions of section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), has conducted an inquiry to determine whether the dumping of hot-rolled deformed steel concrete reinforcing bar in straight lengths or coils, commonly identified as rebar, in various diameters up to and including 56.4 millimetres, in various finishes, excluding plain round bar and fabricated rebar products, originating in or exported from the Republic of Bulgaria (Bulgaria), the Kingdom of Thailand (Thailand), and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury, and to determine such other matters as the Tribunal is required to determine under that section.

On December 12, 2024, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(a) of SIMA, terminated the dumping investigation in respect of the aforementioned goods exported to Canada from Thailand by Thai Steel Profile Public Company Limited. On the same day, the President of the CBSA, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(b) of SIMA, made a final determination of dumping in respect of the aforementioned goods for which the respective investigations were not terminated.

Further to the Tribunal’s inquiry, the Tribunal finds, pursuant to subsection 43(1) of SIMA, that the dumping of the aforementioned goods (excluding those goods exported by Thai Steel Profile Public Company Limited) has caused injury to the domestic industry.

The Tribunal further finds that the circumstances referred to in paragraph 42(1)(b) of SIMA relating to massive importation are not present.

The statement of reasons will be issued within 15 days.
