Canada Gives Two-Anti Injury Rulings on Chinese Steel-Pipe Piles

On July 3, 2012, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal announced its preliminary industrial injury rulings for antidumping and anti-subsidy on China-made steel-pipe piles, holding that the Chinese dumping and subsidy have posed material injury or material retardation or material injury threat to Canadian industries.

Additionally, the Tribunal will end the injury inquiry on part of the steel-pipe piles, including those in line with ASTMA252-like norms and an outer diameter not more than 3.5 inches or at 6 inches (85mm-168.3mm), but except those meeting both ASTMA252's 1-3 grades and API5L norm and having the same outer diameter sizes.

On May 4, 2012, the Canada Border Services Agency announced starting the antidumping and anti-subsidy probes under HS Codes 73063000.14, 73063000.19, 73063000.24, 73063000.29, 73063000.34, 73063000.39.
