An investigation into dumping and subsidizing of hot rolled steel plate imports from India and Russia was been initiated by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal on Sept. 9. The investigation follows a preliminary determination of dumping and subsidization from the Director General of the Trade and Anti-dumping Programs Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) on Sept. 8.
The products to be investigated include hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy steel plate not further manufactured than hot-rolled, heat-treated or not, in cut lengths, in widths from 24 inches (+/‑ 610 mm) to 152 inches (+/‑ 3,860 mm) inclusive, and thicknesses from 0.187 inches (+/- 4.75 mm) up to and including 3.0 inches (76.2 mm). The investigation excludes plate for use in the manufacture of pipe and tube (also known as skelp), plate in coil form, and plate having a rolled, raised figure at regular intervals on the surface
The original complaint was filed by Essar Steel Algoma on April 20, 2015. A final decision by the Tribunal is scheduled to be released on January 6, 2016.
