Recently, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) issued an official notice regarding the extension of a reinvestigation aimed at updating normal values and export prices for certain carbon steel screws from China and Taiwan.
Goods directly exported from Vietnam to Canada are not subject to the trade remedy investigation. However, the investigating authority has received some evidence indicating a connection between Vietnamese exporters and importers in Canada.
This behavior could serve as a basis for the Canadian investigating authority to expand the scope of investigation into the circumvention of trade remedies to Vietnamese businesses or initiate anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations separately against Vietnamese products.
Therefore, businesses involved in or related to the production and export of carbon steel screws to the Canadian market under HS codes 7318.11, 7318.12, 7318.14, and 7318.15 should contact legal firms specializing in anti-dumping and trade remedy defense in Vietnam and internationally to receive timely assistance and proactively undertake necessary preparatory steps in anticipation of potential investigations by the Canadian investigating authority.
In the event of an investigation, related businesses need to establish a participation strategy, handle the case, and fully cooperate as required by the investigating authority and legal counsel.
