CBSA concludes normal value and export price review on copper pipe fittings

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), on September 28, 2020, concluded a normal value and export price review to update the normal values and export prices applicable to certain copper pipe fittings exported to Canada from the United States by Nacobre USA LLC. (Nacobre USA).

Specific normal values for future shipments of certain copper pipe fittings have been determined for Nacobre USA. These normal values were effective on September 28, 2020.

As Nacobre USA did not have a sufficient number of domestic sales of like goods to determine normal values, the normal values were determined based on the aggregate of cost of production, a reasonable amount for administrative, selling and all other costs, and a reasonable amount for profits.

Detailed descriptions as well as the HS classifications of the subject goods are contained in Appendix 1 of the CBSA’s Notice of Conclusion.

The normal values and export prices may be applied to any requests for re‑determination of importations of subject goods that have not been processed prior to the conclusion of this normal value review, regardless of the date that the requests were received. The normal values and export prices determined as a result of this review may be applied retroactively where the certain conditions are met.

Importers are reminded that it is their responsibility to calculate and declare their anti-dumping and countervailing duty liability. In order to determine their anti-dumping and countervailing duty liability, importers should contact their suppliers who can provide information on normal values and amounts of subsidy. Under limited circumstances, the CBSA may make this information available to importers. Please refer to Memorandum D14-1-2 for more information.

The CBSA Notice of Conclusion of Normal Value and Export Price Review containing additional details can be found on CBSA’s website.
