T​​​​​​​​​he Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has concluded its administrative review of carbon steel welded pipe imports from Pakistan, the Philippines, Türkiye, and Vietnam. The review evaluated pricing, production costs, and potential market distortions to determine normal values and export prices under SIMA. Turkish exporters Borusan and Çayırova were investigated for a particular market situation but were found not to be affected. Exporters in other countries had their normal values based on domestic sales where available, or production costs and profit margins where domestic sales were insufficient. Importers and exporters must comply with CBSA requirements to avoid retroactive duties.

Review Process and Data Collection

  • CBSA issued Requests for Information (RFIs) to exporters and importers to collect data on production costs, domestic and export sales.
  • Supplemental RFIs and verifications were conducted at producer facilities in Türkiye, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
  • Counsel representing exporters and Canadian producers submitted case representations, raising issues such as cost reporting, alleged inconsistencies, and possible PMS in Türkiye.
  • CBSA analyzed all submissions and verified data while maintaining confidentiality requirements.

Findings by Country

Türkiye

Borusan and Çayırova

  • Insufficient domestic sales for direct comparison; normal values determined using production cost, administrative and selling costs, and profit.
  • Export prices calculated under SIMA section 24 using the lower of exporter’s selling price or importer’s purchase price, adjusted for shipment costs.
  • No evidence found of a particular market situation affecting either exporter despite allegations of distorted inputs, government programs, or currency volatility.

Pakistan

International Industries Limited (IIL)

  • Normal values based on weighted average domestic sales when sufficient; otherwise, cost-plus methodology used.
  • Export prices determined under SIMA section 24, adjusted for shipment costs.

Philippines

HLD Clark Steel Pipe Co. Inc.

Exporter and Importer Responsibilities

  • Adjust export prices in line with domestic price changes to ensure sales to Canada cover costs, profits, and normal values.
  • Failure to adjust may result in retroactive anti-dumping duties.

Importers:

  • Declare anti-dumping and countervailing duties correctly.
  • Provide customs brokers with all necessary information.
  • Non-compliance may trigger assessments, interest, or appeals under the Customs Act.

Appeals:
