IN THE MATTER OF an inquiry pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act respecting:
FORGED GRINDING MEDIA
FINDING
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, pursuant to the provisions of section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), has conducted an inquiry to determine whether the dumping and subsidizing of forged or stamped steel grinding media in spherical or ovoid shape (“ball”), with a nominal diameter of 25 millimetres (1 inch) or greater up to and including 160 millimetres (6.25 inches), produced through the forging or stamping method, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China), have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA, and to determine such other matters as the Tribunal is required to determine under that section.
On August 24, 2026, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(a) of SIMA, terminated its subsidy investigation in respect of the aforementioned goods exported to Canada from China by Jiangyin Xingcheng Magotteaux Steel Balls Co., Ltd. and Tangshan ZWell Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., as the amount of subsidy on these goods was insignificant. On the same day, the President of the CBSA, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(b) of SIMA, made a final determination of dumping in respect of the aforementioned goods and a final determination of subsidizing in respect of the aforementioned goods for which the subsidy investigation was not terminated.
Further to its inquiry, the Tribunal finds, pursuant to subsection 43(1) of SIMA, that the dumping of the aforementioned goods, and the subsidizing of the aforementioned goods (excluding those goods exported by Jiangyin Xingcheng Magotteaux Steel Balls Co., Ltd. and Tangshan ZWell Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) have not caused injury to the domestic industry but are threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry.
