SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT
Concrete Reinforcing Bar — Decision
On September 14, 1999, pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Deputy Minister of National Revenue made a preliminary determination of dumping respecting hot-rolled deformed carbon or low alloy steel concrete reinforcing bar in straight lengths or coils, originating in or exported from the Republic of Cuba, the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Turkey, and determined that there is evidence that discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping has caused injury to production in Canada. The goods in question are usually classified under the following Harmonized System tariff numbers:
7213.10.00.00 7214.20.00.00
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal will now conduct an inquiry into the question of injury to the production of like goods in Canada. The Tribunal will make an order or finding within 120 days following the receipt of the notice of the preliminary determination. Pursuant to section 8 of SIMA, provisional duties are payable on the subject goods which are released from customs during the period commencing on the date the preliminary determination is made and ending the earlier of the date on which the investigation, or portions thereof, is terminated by the Department, and the date on which the Tribunal makes its decision. The amount of provisional duty payable on the goods is no greater than the estimated margin of dumping. The payment of such duty is hereby demanded.
Information
A statement of reasons explaining this decision has been provided to persons directly interested in the proceedings. It is available on the Department's Web site at http://www.rc.gc.ca/sima/ or you may request a free copy by contacting Mr. Iqbal Motani or Mr. R. D.
