The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced today that it is initiating an investigation into the alleged injurious dumping of certain hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy steel plate originating in or exported from Brazil, Chinese Taipei, Denmark, Indonesia, Italy, Japan and the Republic of Korea.
The investigation follows a complaint filed by Essar Steel Algoma Inc., of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The complainant alleges that the dumping of these goods is harming Canadian production by causing the following: price depression/suppression, lost market share, lost sales, reduced profits, reduced utilization of production capacity and reduction in employment.
