The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal) is continuing its inquiry into the question of injury to the domestic industry and will make an order or finding by February 2, 2010. Provisional duties will continue to apply until this date.
If the Tribunal finds that the dumping has caused injury or is threatening to cause injury, future imports of subject goods will be subject to anti-dumping duty equal to the margin of dumping on the goods. In that event, the importer in Canada shall pay all such duties. The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping duty.
Information
The Statement of Reasons regarding this decision will be issued within 15 days following the decision and will be available on the CBSA’s Web site at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi or by contacting either Benjamin Walker at 613-952-8665 or Matthew Lerette at 613-954-7398, or by fax at 613-948-4844.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL
COMMENCEMENT OF INQUIRY
Polyiso insulation board
Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on January 6, 2010, from the Director General of the Trade Programs Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency, stating that a preliminary determination had been made respecting the dumping of faced rigid cellular polyurethane-modified polyisocyanurate thermal insulation board originating in or exported from the United States of America.
Pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated an inquiry (Inquiry No. NQ-2009-005) to determine whether the dumping of the above-mentioned goods has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury, and to determine such other matters as the Tribunal is required to determine under that section.
Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why that information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such a summary cannot be made.
Notices of participation
Each person or government wishing to participate in the inquiry and at the hearing as a party must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before January 21, 2010. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry and at the hearing must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before January 21, 2010.
Public hearing
A public hearing relating to this inquiry will be held in the Tribunal Hearing Room, 18th Floor, Standard Life Centre, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing April 6, 2010, at 9:30 a.m.
To allow the Tribunal to determine whether simultaneous interpretation will be required for the hearing, each interested party and each counsel filing a notice of participation or representation must advise the Secretary, at the same time that they file the notice, whether they and their witnesses will be using French or English or both languages at the hearing.
In the event of an injury finding, a request for a public interest inquiry conducted pursuant to subsection 45(1) of SIMA may be made by any party to the injury inquiry or by any other group or person affected by the injury finding. Such a request must be filed with the Tribunal within 45 days of the injury finding. A public interest inquiry is completely separate from an injury inquiry. However, the Tribunal invites all persons who anticipate that they will have public interest concerns in the event of an injury finding to simply notify the Tribunal by January 21, 2010. The Tribunal is not seeking and does not expect submissions on public interest issues during the injury inquiry.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.
In order to observe and understand production processes, the Tribunal, accompanied by its staff, may conduct plant visits.
Along with the notice of commencement of inquiry, the Secretary has sent a letter to the domestic producers, importers, foreign producers and certain purchasers with a known interest in the inquiry providing details on the procedures, as well as the schedule for the inquiry. The letter specifies, among other things, the date for filing replies to Tribunal questionnaires, the date on which the information on record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of participation or representation, and the dates for the filing of submissions by interested parties. Copies of all the questionnaires can be downloaded from the Tribunal’s Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/question/index_e.asp.
The Tribunal’s Guide to Making Requests for Product Exclusions, which can be found on the Tribunal’s Web site, describes the procedure for filing requests for specific product exclusions. The Guide includes a form for filing requests for product exclusions and a form for any party that opposes a request to respond to such requests. This does not preclude parties from making submissions in a different format if they so wish, provided that all of the information and supporting documentation requested in the forms are included. Requests to exclude goods from the finding shall be filed by interested parties no later than noon, on March 5, 2010. Parties opposed or consenting or not opposed to the request for exclusion shall file written reply submissions no later than noon, on March 15, 2010. Should the request for a specific product exclusion be opposed, and if the interested party wishes to reply, it must do so within a period determined by the Tribunal in advance of the hearing.
Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding this notice should be addressed to the Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (email).
Parties and the public may file documents electronically with the Tribunal through its Secure E-filing Service located at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/apps/index_e.asp. The service utilizes the Government of Canada’s epass system, which allows the secure transmission of confidential business information. The information is fully encrypted from the sender to the Tribunal.
However, parties must still file paper copies when instructed to do so. Where a party is required to file hard copies, the electronic version and the hard-copy version must be identical. In case of discrepancies, the hard-copy version will be considered the original.
At the end of the official process, the Tribunal will issue a decision supported by a summary of the case, a summary of the arguments and an analysis of the case.
The Tribunal’s decision will be posted on its Web site and distributed to the parties and interested persons, as well as to organizations and persons who have registered to receive decisions of the Tribunal.
Written and oral communication with the Tribunal may be in English or in French.
