CBSA ends dumping probe for Borçelik

Summary#

On July 16, 2025, the Canada Border Services Agency ended a dumping investigation under the Special Import Measures Act into corrosion‑resistant steel sheet from Türkiye by Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş. The CBSA found the goods were not dumped, so provisional duties will stop and any provisional duties or security already paid will be refunded.

What it does#

• The CBSA terminates the anti‑dumping investigation of corrosion‑resistant steel sheet for imports tied to Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş.
• Provisional duties will no longer be imposed on imports of the goods covered by this decision.
• Any provisional duties paid or security posted because of the investigation will be refunded, as appropriate.
• The goods are usually reported under a set of tariff classification numbers (the Gazette lists many). Those tariff numbers cover both goods that were subject to the inquiry and goods that were not.
• The Statement of Reasons for the decision will be issued within 15 days and posted on the CBSA website.

Who's affected#

• Importers and customs brokers who bring corrosion‑resistant steel sheet from Türkiye, especially shipments linked to Borçelik Çelik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş., are the main groups affected.
• Businesses that already paid provisional duties or posted security in relation to this investigation may receive refunds.
• It is unclear from the notice exactly which specific products (within the range of listed tariff numbers) were treated as subject goods, because the tariff numbers cover both subject and non‑subject items.
• Other Turkish exporters are not explicitly cleared by this notice; the decision applies to the named company and the goods described.

Why it matters#

• Importers may get money back and will not face ongoing provisional duties for the goods tied to this company, which can improve cash flow and reduce costs.
• Ending the investigation removes a trade uncertainty for at least this exporter and its Canadian buyers and could affect prices or supply decisions.
• The forthcoming Statement of Reasons will explain the CBSA’s findings in more detail; until it is published, some details about the decision remain unclear.
