Order issued |
IN THE MATTER OF an inquiry, pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act, respecting:
CORROSION-RESISTANT FLAT-ROLLED STEEL SHEET PRODUCTS OF CARBON STEEL ORIGINATING IN OR EXPORTED FROM THE REPUBLIC OF TÜRKIYE BY BORÇELIK ÇELIK SANAYI TICARET A.Ş.
ORDER
On April 22, 2025, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an inquiry to determine whether the dumping of corrosion-resistant flat-rolled steel sheet products of carbon steel including products alloyed with the following elements:
● Boron (B) not more than 0.01%,
● Niobium (Nb) not more than 0.100%,
● Titanium (Ti) not more than 0.08%, or
● Vanadium (V) not more than 0.300%
in coils or cut lengths, in thicknesses up to 0.168 in. (4.267 mm) and widths up to 72 inch (1,828.8 mm) with all dimensions being plus or minus allowable tolerances contained in the applicable standards, with or without passivation and/or anti-fingerprint treatments, originating in or exported from the Republic of Türkiye by Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş. (the subject goods), and excluding:
● corrosion-resistant steel sheet products for use in the manufacture of passenger automobiles, buses, trucks, ambulances or hearses or chassis therefor, or parts thereof, or accessories or parts thereof;
● steel products for use in the manufacture of aeronautic products;
● steel sheet that is coated or plated with tin, lead, nickel, copper, chromium, chromium oxides, both tin and lead (“terne plate”), or both chromium and chromium oxides (“tin free steel”);
● stainless flat-rolled steel products;
● corrosion-resistant steel sheet products that have been pre-painted, including with lacquers or varnishes, or permanently coated in plastic;
● galvanized armouring tape, which is narrow flat steel tape of 3 in. or less, that has been coated by a final operation with zinc by either the hot-dip galvanizing or the electrogalvanizing process so that all surfaces, including the edges, are coated;
● perforated steel;
● and tool steel
has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA.
On July 16, 2025, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency terminated the investigation respecting the subject goods, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(a) of SIMA, as the goods were not dumped.
In light of the President’s conclusion that there were no dumped subject goods, the Tribunal finds that the volume of dumped subject goods is negligible, as that word is defined in SIMA. As such, the Tribunal terminates its inquiry with respect to the subject goods pursuant to subsection 42(4.1) of SIMA.
