Exporters that wish to participate in this re-investigation are required to provide a complete and accurate response to the CBSA’s request for information (RFI) by January 8, 2024. An exporter will be considered co-operative if the requested information is submitted on time and the exporter permits verification of the data. A complete listing of dates of interest is detailed as below.

Where an exporter of subject goods does not provide sufficient information to determine specific normal values or does not permit verification of information submitted, anti dumping duties will be assessed at the rate of 170% of the export price of the subject goods imported into Canada.

Similarly, in cases where the Government of China or exporters in China fail to provide complete and accurate submissions enabling the determination of specific amounts of subsidy, the amounts of subsidy will be determined in accordance with a ministerial specification pursuant to subsection 30.4(2) of Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).

Exporters that are not the manufacturer of the subject goods (e.g. trading companies, vendors, etc.) will receive normal values and specific amounts of subsidy only to the extent that their suppliers/manufacturers provide sufficient information to the CBSA to permit the determination of normal values, export prices and amounts of subsidy.

Any importers or exporters who have not received a letter from the CBSA, and who wish to provide a response to the RFI are advised to contact CBSA officers at simaregistry-depotlmsi@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca to obtain a copy of the RFI.
