Upon receiving the complaint, the Canada Border Services Agency announced on the 5th that it would begin an investigation on the seven steel exporters. The Canadian International Trade Tribunal will make a preliminary anti-dumping determination within 90 days by December 4 after which it will make final decisions on individual steel makers within 90 days after the date of the preliminary determination.
KOTRA said that it is worried the Canadian government may this time impose anti-dumping charges on hot-rolled carbon steel plate after it did so on carbon steel welded pipes and steel tubes for structural purposes.
