Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 159, Number 34: COMMISSIONS
The Canada Border Services Agency initiated an investigation on 2025-08-11 into alleged injurious dumping of oil country tubular goods imported into Canada from several countries and specific foreign producers. The probe covers goods from the United Mexican States, the Republic of the Philippines, the Republic of Türkiye (Borusan Mannesmann), the Republic of Korea (Hyundai Steel), and the United States (Tenaris), and may lead to duties or other trade remedies; the full product definition and tariff classifications are on the CBSA Dumping and subsidy investigations web page.
Summary
Summary#
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) started an investigation on August 11, 2025 into alleged injurious dumping of oil country tubular goods imported into Canada. The probe covers goods from several countries and specific foreign producers and was published in the Canada Gazette on August 23, 2025.
What it does#
- Opens an inquiry under subsection 31(1) of the Special Import Measures Act into alleged injurious dumping of oil country tubular goods.
- Targets goods originating in or exported from:
- United Mexican States
- Republic of the Philippines
- Republic of Türkiye (specifically goods exported or produced by, or on behalf of Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.)
- Republic of Korea (specifically goods exported or produced by, or on behalf of Hyundai Steel Company)
- United States of America (specifically goods exported or produced by, or on behalf of Tenaris S.A.)
- Points readers to the CBSA “Dumping and subsidy investigations” web page for the full product definition and tariff classification numbers (not listed in the Gazette notice).
- Notes that a Statement of Reasons will be issued within 15 days of the decision.
Who's affected#
- Canadian companies that make or sell oil country tubular goods in Canada (domestic producers).
- Importers and distributors who bring these specific tubular goods into Canada.
- The named foreign producers and exporters (Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., Hyundai Steel Company, Tenaris S.A.) and exporters from the listed countries.
- Others in related supply chains (import logistics, customs brokers). The notice does not list all affected businesses or service sectors.
Why it matters#
- Investigations under the Special Import Measures Act can lead to duties or other trade remedies if dumping and injury are later found. This notice starts that process but does not impose measures yet.
- Importers could face more scrutiny, paperwork, or later financial costs if duties are applied. Domestic producers might seek relief from unfairly priced imports.
- The exact products and tariff numbers matter for businesses that trade these goods; the Gazette points to the CBSA web page for those details.
