CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY

SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Certain oil country tubular goods — Decision

On September 28, 2021, pursuant to subsection 39(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) extended the preliminary phase of the investigation into the alleged injurious dumping of certain oil country tubular goods from Austria.

SIMA provides that, under normal circumstances, the preliminary stage of the investigation shall be completed within 90 days of the date of initiation. However, due to the existence of circumstances that make it unusually difficult to decide within 90 days whether to make a preliminary determination of dumping or to terminate the investigation with respect to some or all of the goods, the period has been extended to 135 days, pursuant to subsection 39(1) of SIMA.

Consequently, the decision to issue a preliminary determination of dumping or to terminate the investigation with respect to some or all of the goods will be made on or before November 19, 2021.

SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Oil country tubular goods — Decision

On September 28, 2021, pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made a preliminary determination of dumping respecting certain oil country tubular goods from Mexico.

The subject goods are usually imported under the following tariff classification numbers:

The above-listed tariff classifications cover both subject and non-subject goods.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will conduct a full inquiry into the question of injury to the Canadian industry and will make an order or finding no later than 120 days after its receipt of the notice of the preliminary determination of dumping.

Pursuant to section 8 of SIMA, provisional duty is payable on the subject goods that are released from the CBSA during the period commencing September 28, 2021, and ending on the earlier of the day the investigation is terminated, the day on which the CITT makes an order or finding, or the day an undertaking is accepted.

The amount of provisional duty payable is not greater than the estimated margin of dumping. The Customs Act applies with respect to the accounting and payment of provisional duty. Therefore, failure to pay duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Customs Act.

Information

The Statement of Reasons regarding the preliminary determination will be issued within 15 days following the decision and will be available on the CBSA website.

DETERMINATION

Marine

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal made a determination (Files No. PR-2019-020R and No. PR-2019-025R) on September 24, 2021, with respect to two complaints filed by Heiltsuk Horizon Maritime Services Ltd. and Horizon Maritime Services Ltd. (collectively Heiltsuk Horizon), of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. 47 (4th Supp.), concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. F7017-160056/C) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The solicitation was for the provision of service from two emergency towing vessels on a time charter basis.

Heiltsuk Horizon alleged that PWGSC erred in its re-evaluation of mandatory requirement No. 12, such re-evaluation having been conducted by PWGSC further to the Tribunal’s determination and recommendations in procurement Inquiry No. PR-2018-023.

Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of various trade agreements, the Tribunal determined that the complaints were not valid.

Further information may be obtained from the Registry, 613‑993‑3595 (telephone), citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca (email).
