Summary
[1] On June 20, 2025, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) received a written complaint from Interpro Pipe & Steel Inc. and Welded Tube of Canada Corporation (hereinafter, “the complainants”) alleging that imports of certain oil country tubular goods (hereinafter, “OCTG”) originating in or exported from the United Mexican States (Mexico) and the Republic of the Philippines (the Philippines), and originating in the Republic of Türkiye (Türkiye) and exported or produced by, or on behalf of, Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (Borusan), originating in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and exported or produced by, or on behalf of, Hyundai Steel Company (Hyundai Steel), and originating in the United States of America (U.S.) and exported or produced by, or on behalf of, Tenaris S.A. (Tenaris) (collectively, “the subject countries and exporters/producers”), are being injuriously dumped.
[2] On July 11, 2025, pursuant to paragraph 32(1)(a) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the CBSA informed the complainants that the complaint was properly documented. On August 5, 2025, the CBSA informed the governments of the subject countries that a properly documented complaint had been filed.
[3] The complainants provided evidence to support the allegations that certain OCTG from the subject countries and exporters/producers have been dumped, as well as evidence that discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping has caused injury or is threatening to cause injury to the Canadian industry producing like goods.
[4] On August 11, 2025, pursuant to subsection 31(1) of SIMA, the CBSA initiated an investigation respecting the dumping of certain OCTG from Mexico, the Philippines, Türkiye (Borusan), South Korea (Hyundai Steel), and the U.S. (Tenaris).
[5] Upon receiving notice of the initiation of the investigation, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) commenced a preliminary injury inquiry, pursuant to subsection 34(2) of SIMA, into whether the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping of the above-mentioned goods have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury to the Canadian industry producing the like goods.
[6] On October 9, 2025, pursuant to subsection 37.1(1) of SIMA, the CITT made a preliminary determination that there is evidence that discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping of certain OCTG from the subject countries and exporters/producers has caused injury to the domestic industry.
[7] On December 22, 2025, as a result of the CBSA’s preliminary investigation and pursuant to subsection 38(1) of SIMA, the CBSA made a preliminary determination of dumping of certain OCTG originating in or exported from the subject countries and exporters/producers.
[8] On the same date, pursuant to subsection 8(1) of SIMA, provisional duties were imposed on imports of dumped goods that are of the same description as any goods to which the preliminary determination applies, and that are released during the period commencing on the day the preliminary determination was made and ending on the earlier of the day on which the CBSA causes the investigation in respect of any goods to be terminated pursuant to subsection 41(1) of SIMA or the day the CITT makes an order or finding pursuant to subsection 43(1) of SIMA.
[9] Based on the available evidence, the CBSA is satisfied that OCTG originating in or exported from the subject countries and exporters/producers has been dumped. Therefore, on March 23, 2026, the CBSA made a final determination of dumping pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(b) of SIMA in respect of those goods.
[10] The CITT’s inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry is continuing, and the CITT will issue its decision by April 21, 2026. Provisional duties will continue to be imposed on the OCTG from the subject countries and exporters/producers until the CITT renders its decision.
