Summary
Summary#
The Canada Border Services Agency made a final finding of dumping on certain oil country tubular goods from Mexico under the Special Import Measures Act on December 22, 2021. Provisional duties will stay in place while the Canadian International Trade Tribunal completes an injury inquiry and must decide by January 26, 2022.
What it does#
- Confirms a final determination that some oil country tubular goods (pipe and related items) originating in or exported from Mexico were dumped.
- Notes these goods are usually imported under several tariff classifications that start with 7304.29 and 7306.29 (the full list appears in the notice). The listed tariff codes include both goods covered by the finding and goods that are not covered.
- Keeps the existing provisional duty on those subject goods in place until the Canadian International Trade Tribunal issues its injury decision by January 26, 2022.
- Says that if the Tribunal finds dumping has caused or threatens injury, anti-dumping duties will be applied to future imports and importers in Canada will be required to pay them.
- States that a Statement of Reasons for the CBSA decision will be published on the CBSA website within 15 days of the decision.
Who's affected#
- Importers and customs brokers who bring the listed tubular goods into Canada from Mexico.
- Canadian businesses that buy these tubular goods — notably companies in the oil and gas sector that use pipe and pup joints.
- Canadian manufacturers of similar products, who are central to the injury inquiry.
- Other parties involved in cross-border trade of these tariff-classified goods.
Why it matters#
- Importers may face extra costs if anti-dumping duties are confirmed, which can raise prices for buyers in industries that use these products.
- The measure can protect domestic manufacturers if the Tribunal finds they were harmed by dumped imports.
- There is short-term uncertainty until the Tribunal decides by January 26, 2022 and until the CBSA publishes its Statement of Reasons.
