The Canada Border Services Agency has initiated a re investigation of the normal values and export prices of certain copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from the United States of America, the Republic of Korea and the People's Republic of China. The CBSA is not initiating a re-investigation of the amount of subsidy respecting certain copper pipe fittings from the People's Republic of China at this time.

The subject goods are described as solder joint pressure pipe fittings and solder joint drainage, waste and vent pipe fittings, made of cast copper alloy, wrought copper alloy or wrought copper, for use in heating, plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration applications, originating in or exported from the United States of America, the Republic of Korea and the People's Republic of China.

The re investigation is part of the CBSA's ongoing enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal's finding of material injury issued on February 19th 2007.

The subject goods are properly classified under the Harmonized System Heading 74.12, under the following HS Codes:

It is anticipated that this reinvestigation will be concluded on or before April 1st 2010.

Exporters that wish to participate are required to provide to provide a complete and accurate submission by December 21st 2009. When sufficient information has not been submitted to the CBSA by the exporter to permit the determination of specific normal values for subject goods, anti-dumping duties will be assessed at the rate of 242% of the export price in accordance with a ministerial specification pursuant to section 29 of Special Import Measures Act.
