DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL REVENUE

SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Stainless Steel Round Bar — Decision

On May 19, 1999, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(a) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Deputy Minister of National Revenue made a final determination of dumping respecting stainless steel round bar of sizes 25 mm diameter up to 570 mm diameter inclusive, originating in or exported from the Republic of Korea.

The subject goods are normally imported into Canada under the following Harmonized System classification numbers:

numbers 1	numbers 2
7222.11.00.11 7222.11.00.21 7222.20.10.11 7222.20.10.21	7222.20.90.11 7222.20.90.21 7222.30.00.11 7222.30.00.21

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal is continuing its inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry and will make its finding on or before June 18, 1999. If the Tribunal finds that the dumping has caused injury or is threatening to cause injury, future imports of subject goods may be subject to an anti-dumping duty equal to the amount by which the normal value exceeds the export price of the goods. In that event, all duty payable under section 3 of SIMA is hereby demanded pursuant to section 11 of SIMA.

Information

A statement of reasons explaining this decision has been provided to persons directly interested in these proceedings. A free copy may be obtained by contacting Jody Grantham, Senior Program Officer, Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate, 191 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0L5, (613) 954-7405 (Telephone), (613) 954-3750 (Facsimile).
