On June 5, 2017, the Canada International Trade Tribunal (CITT) announced that its order made on May 31, 2016 continuing, without amendment, its finding made on November 20, 2012, regarding the dumping of liquid dielectric transformers, is scheduled to expire on November 20, 2017.
Subject goods are described as liquid dielectric transformers having a top power handling capacity equal to or exceeding 60,000 kilovolt amperes (60 megavolt amperes), whether assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, originating in or exported from Korea.
Under the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), findings of injury or threat of injury and the associated special protection in the form of anti-dumping or countervailing duties expire five years from the date of the last order or finding, unless an expiry review has been initiated before that date.
The expiry proceeding will be conducted by way of written submissions. Anyone wishing to participate as a party in these proceedings must file a notice of participation with the CITT on or before June 21, 2017. Counsel intending to represent a party in these proceedings must also file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the CITT on or before June 21, 2017.
On June 22, 2017, the CITT will distribute the list of participants. Counsel and parties are required to serve their respective submissions on each other on the dates outlined in the Notice of Expiry of Order.
The CITT will issue a decision on July 25, 2017, on whether an expiry review is warranted. If an expiry review is not warranted, the order will expire on its scheduled expiry date. If the CITT decides to initiate an expiry review, it will issue a Notice of Expiry Review.
