IN THE MATTER OF a preliminary injury inquiry, pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act, respecting:

CAST IRON SOIL PIPE

PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF INJURY

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), has conducted a preliminary injury inquiry into whether there is evidence that discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of cast iron soil pipe, as defined below (the subject goods), have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA. The subject goods are defined as:

Cast iron soil pipe originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, whether finished or unfinished, regardless of industry or proprietary specifications, and regardless of wall thickness, length, surface finish, end finish, or stenciling, having a nominal outside diameter from 1.5 inches to 18 inches. Cast iron soil pipe is non‑malleable iron pipe of various designs and sizes, including but not limited to both hubless and hub and spigot cast iron soil pipe.

For greater certainty, the product definition includes all pipe meeting the physical description set forth above, whether or not produced according to a particular standard or specification.

This preliminary injury inquiry follows the notification, on July 11, 2025, that the President of the Canada Border Services Agency initiated investigations into the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of cast iron soil pipe originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.

Pursuant to subsection 37.1(1) of SIMA, the Tribunal determines that there is evidence that discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods have caused or are threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry.

The statement of reasons will be issued within 20 days.
