HÀ NỘI – The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) on January 25 conducted preliminary determinations on dumping and subsidising with respect to certain copper pipe fittings, originating in or exported from Việt Nam.
The dumping and subsidy duties are 159 per cent and 4.7 per cent, respectively, for Hailiang (Vietnam) Metal Products Co Ltd while for all other exporters in Việt Nam the rates are 159 per cent and 42.4 per cent, the agency announced on its website.
By March 19, 2018, the CBSA will receive case arguments due from all parties.
A copy of the Statement of Reasons, which provides more details about these investigations, will be available on the CBSA’s website, www.cbsa.gc.ca/sima-lmsi, within 15 days.
In October 2017, CBSA announced that it was launching an investigation into certain copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from Việt Nam.
The agency investigated whether these are being sold at unfair prices in Canada and whether subsidies are being applied to certain copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from Việt Nam.
The CBSA said that the investigations are the result of a complaint filed by Cello Products Inc (Cello) of Cambridge, Ontario. The complainant alleges that as a result of price undercutting from Việt Nam, Cello faced loss in sales and market share, resulting in negative financial results, reduced production and employment.
Việt Nam’s copper pipe fittings under investigation were coded 7412.10.00.11, 7412.10.00.19, 7412.10.00.90 and 7412.20.00.11, as well as 7412.20.00.12, 7412.20.00.19 and 7412.20.00.90. The investigation period was from January 1, 2016, to August 31, 2017. - VNS
