On April 22, 2025, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officially initiated an anti-dumping investigation into certain carbon and alloy steel wire products imported from various countries, including Vietnam, under case number SW 2025 IN.
The products under investigation mainly fall under HS codes 7217.10, 7217.20, 7217.30, 7217.90, 7229.20, and 7229.90. This investigation was initiated based on a complaint filed by two Canadian companies, Sivaco Wire Group 2004, L.P. and ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada G.P., with the filing date of February 26, 2025.
The period of investigation for determining dumping practices spans from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. According to data from Trademap, Vietnam’s export turnover of the relevant products to Canada reached approximately USD 1.6 million in 2021, USD 543 thousand in 2022, and USD 860 thousand in 2023.
Within 15 days from the date of initiation, CBSA will issue a Statement of Reasons, expected by May 7, 2025, to provide further details regarding the investigation. A preliminary determination by CBSA is anticipated within 90 days of initiation, projected for July 21, 2025.
During this phase, Canada may impose provisional anti-dumping duties on the investigated products. Concurrently, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will conduct an injury investigation regarding the domestic industry and issue a preliminary determination within 60 days from initiation, expected by June 21, 2025. If CITT concludes that the domestic industry has not suffered material injury, the investigation will be terminated immediately.
To facilitate the investigation, CBSA has issued Requests for Information (RFIs) to identified Vietnamese exporters and producers potentially involved with the goods under investigation.
Through the RFI, CBSA requires companies to provide detailed information regarding sales, costs, and pricing structures related to exports to Canada during the investigation period. Companies must also supply data on domestic sales and production costs of similar goods during the same timeframe to establish “normal value.” The deadline for submitting responses to the RFI is 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) on May 29, 2025.
To respond effectively to the investigation, producers and exporters of the relevant products are strongly advised to closely monitor the case developments; thoroughly study and understand Canada’s anti-dumping investigation rules, procedures, and processes; formulate appropriate defense strategies; and fully cooperate with the Canadian investigating authority throughout the proceedings.
Any failure to cooperate or incomplete cooperation may result in the use of adverse facts available or the imposition of the highest possible anti-dumping duties against the companies concerned.
To protect their legitimate interests, manufacturers and exporters should familiarize themselves with the procedure and actively contact Vietnamese law firms specializing in anti-dumping and trade remedy for timely assistance.
