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

CERTAIN CARBON OR ALLOY STEEL WIRE

FINDINGS

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 carbon or alloy steel wire, of round or other solid cross section, in nominal sizes up to and including 24.13 mm (0.950 inches) in diameter, whether or not coated or plated with zinc, zinc-aluminum alloy, or any other coating, including other base metals or polyvinyl chloride or other plastics, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei), the Republic of India, the Italian Republic, the Federation of Malaysia, the Portuguese Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Thailand, the Republic of Türkiye and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, excluding the following:

• stainless steel wire (i.e., alloy steel wire containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or less carbon and 10.5 percent or more chromium, with or without other elements);

• wire of high-speed steel; and

• welding wire of any type.

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 section 42.

Further to the Tribunal’s inquiry and following the issuance by the President of the Canada Border Services Agency of a final determination dated December 3, 2025, that the above‑mentioned goods have been dumped, the Tribunal finds, pursuant to subsection 43(1) of SIMA, that:

• ·the dumping of the aforementioned goods under inquiry, that are for commercial distribution or industrial manufacturing (“Industrial Wire”) has caused injury to the domestic industry;

• ·the dumping of the aforementioned goods that are packaged for retail sale to individual consumers for domestic use, not exceeding a weight of 1 kg per retail-ready package (“Retail Wire”) has not caused injury or retardation and is not threatening to cause 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.

Furthermore, the Tribunal excludes the following goods from its finding of injury made in respect of Industrial Wire:

• High-carbon silico-manganese steel wire in diameters of 5.5 mm to 8.0 mm, with a carbon content of 0.90% to 1.20%, a manganese content of 11.00% to 14.00% (Mn13 grade), a silicon content of 0.30% to 0.80%, a sulfur content of no more than 0.030%, and a phosphorus content of no more than 0.035%, possessing a Brinell hardness (Hardness Brinell Wolfram or HBW) value of 170 to 240, for use in the manufacture of wire mesh conveyor belts for shot-blasting processes in production lines.

The statement of reasons will be issued within 15 days.
