The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced a re-investigation to update the normal values and export prices and amounts of subsidy respecting certain aluminum extrusions originating in or exported from China.

The re-investigation, initiated on Monday, is part of the enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal's finding of material injury issued on March 17, 2009, which resulted in the assessment of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on the subject goods.

It is anticipated that this re-investigation will be concluded on or before February 20, 2012. The new normal values and amounts of subsidy resulting from this re-investigation will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after February 20, 2012, or the date of the ruling letter to the exporters, whichever occurs first. Also, at that time, the normal values and amounts of subsidy currently in place will expire.

CBSA reminds importers that new normal values and amounts of subsidy, when issued, may be higher than those currently in effect and that this could result in additional assessments of anti-dumping duty. In addition, the normal values determined on the basis of the re-investigation will be applied to any customs entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this re-investigation.
