Inquiry Terminated: Borçelik Steel Dumping Case

Summary#

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has ended its inquiry (NQ-2025-001) into alleged dumping of corrosion-resistant flat-rolled steel sheet exported from Türkiye by Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş.. The inquiry was closed after the Canada Border Services Agency concluded on July 16, 2025 that those goods were not dumped, and the Tribunal terminated the inquiry on July 21, 2025.

What it does#

• The Tribunal opened the inquiry under the Special Import Measures Act after a preliminary dumping determination on April 17, 2025.
• The products covered were described as corrosion-resistant flat-rolled carbon steel sheet (including certain low-alloy variants) in coils or cut lengths, with thicknesses up to 0.168 in. (4.267 mm) and widths up to 72 in. (1,828.8 mm).
• The inquiry excluded a range of products, including steel for passenger vehicles, aeronautic uses, stainless steel, pre-painted or permanently plastic-coated sheet, certain tin- or lead-coated sheet, galvanized armouring tape (narrow tape of 3 in. or less), perforated steel, and tool steel.
• On July 16, 2025, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency terminated the related CBSA investigation, finding the goods were not dumped.
• As a result, the Tribunal formally ended its inquiry on July 21, 2025.

Who's affected#

• Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş., the exporter named in the inquiry.
• Canadian importers and distributors who bring in corrosion-resistant flat-rolled steel sheet from Türkiye.
• Canadian steel users and manufacturers that buy or process these sheets (for example, in construction, appliances, or vehicle parts), who may see supply and pricing effects.
• The Canada Border Services Agency and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, which handled the investigation and inquiry.
• It is unclear from this notice whether other exporters or other investigations into similar steel products remain open.

Why it matters#

• Ending the inquiry means there will be no anti-dumping measures from this action against the specific goods and exporter named here, which reduces the chance of new duties or import restrictions tied to this case.
• Importers and buyers of the specified steel sheet can expect more immediate market certainty for shipments from the named exporter.
• Businesses that use these steel products may face less risk of sudden cost increases tied to this particular investigation.
• The notice is narrowly focused on the products and exporter listed; other investigations or measures could still affect related products or other suppliers.
