Tribunal Ends Inquiry into Borçelik Steel

Summary#

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has ended an inquiry into whether certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel sheet from the Republic of Türkiye (made by Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş.) was being dumped into Canada. This follows a finding by the Canada Border Services Agency that the goods were not dumped; the CBSA decision was made on July 16, 2025 and the Tribunal terminated the inquiry on July 21, 2025.

What it does#

• Ends the Tribunal’s inquiry (file NQ-2025-001) into the alleged dumping of corrosion-resistant flat-rolled carbon steel sheet from Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş.
• Reflects the CBSA’s earlier preliminary finding on April 17, 2025 and its termination of the CBSA investigation on July 16, 2025, which concluded there was no dumping.
• The products examined were described as corrosion-resistant steel sheet in coils or cut lengths, up to 0.168 in. (4.267 mm) thick and up to 72 in. (1,828.8 mm) wide.
• The inquiry was conducted under the Special Import Measures Act and was stopped because the CBSA found no dumped goods.

Who's affected#

• Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş., the Turkish producer named in the inquiry.
• Importers and buyers in Canada who trade in the specific corrosion-resistant steel sheet described above.
• Canadian steel producers and downstream manufacturers that compete with, or use, these steel products — they may have been following the case closely.
• If you are unsure whether a particular product you buy or sell is covered, the exact product descriptions in the notice determine that.

Why it matters#

• Companies importing the named steel from Borçelik will avoid the immediate risk of anti-dumping duties tied to this case because the CBSA found no dumping and the Tribunal closed the inquiry.
• Domestic producers who hoped for trade relief through duties will not get that outcome from this investigation.
• For buyers and manufacturers, the decision provides short-term certainty about supply and pricing for the listed corrosion-resistant steel products.
