Effective July 14, 2015, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) concluded their re-investigation of the normal values, export prices and amounts of subsidy of certain steel grating originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China).
The subject goods are described as carbon steel bar grating and alloy steel bar grating, consisting of load-bearing pieces and cross pieces, produced as standard grating or heavy-duty grating, in panel form, whether galvanized, painted, coated, clad or plated.
The subject goods are generally classified under the following 10-digit Harmonized System (HS) classification numbers: 7308.90.00.10, 7308.90.00.20, 7308.90.00.30, 7308.90.00.40, 7308.90.00.50, 7308.90.00.60, 7308.90.00.70, 7308.90.00.92, 7308.90.00.93, 7308.90.00.94, 7308.90.00.95, 7308.90.00.96, 7308.90.00.99.
It is important to note that given that no exporters, producers, or the government of China provided a response to the CBSA’s RFIs, the normal values for all exporters will be based on the export price of the goods advanced by 85%. Amounts of subsidy for all exporters is equal to 13,064 Chinese Renminbi per metric tonne. The normal values and amounts of subsidy are effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after July 14, 2015.
Importers are advised to review their importations to ensure they are correctly reporting SIMA subsequent to the re-investigation.
