The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has extended the investigation with respect to the dumping and subsidizing
into Canada of certain carbon steel and stainless steel fasteners originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China and Chinese Taipei.
Pursuant to paragraphs 39(1)(a) and (b) of the Special Import
Measures Act, the President of the CBSA extended the 90-day period for making a preliminary decision pertaining to all or part of the investigation, due to the complexity and novelty of the issues presented by the
investigation and the number of persons involved in the investigation. Consequently, a preliminary decision pertaining to all or part of the investigation will be made on or before September 10, 2004.If
the anti-dumping action goes forward, additional import duty applicable to the steel fasteners in question is estimated to be 103% for China and 180% for Taiwan. |
