Canada finals China's steel plate dumping to continue anti-dumping measures
Yesterday, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal announced its final decision to extend the anti-dumping measures on hot-rolled carbon steel plates from China, South Africa, and Russia. The review, known as a "sunset review," was conducted to assess whether these duties should be maintained or removed. After thorough analysis, the tribunal concluded that lifting the measures would likely result in ongoing or renewed harm to Canada’s domestic steel industry, and therefore, the existing anti-dumping duties will remain in place.
This is not the first time Canada has taken action against imports of this product. In 1997, the country initiated an anti-dumping investigation into hot-rolled carbon steel plates from China and imposed a duty of 27.3% on affected products. Since then, similar measures have been implemented for imports from other countries, including South Africa and Russia, reflecting concerns over unfair pricing and market distortions.
A sunset review is a standard procedure under international trade laws. It is conducted when the initial anti-dumping duties are set to expire, allowing authorities to evaluate whether the measures are still necessary to prevent injury to domestic producers. The outcome of such reviews can lead to either the continuation of current duties, an increase in rates, or their complete termination.
The latest decision by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal underscores the ongoing sensitivity of the steel sector in Canada. With global supply chains constantly evolving and trade tensions persisting, governments often rely on these measures to protect local industries from what they perceive as unfair foreign competition. This ruling is expected to have implications for Canadian importers and manufacturers who rely on steel products from these countries.
