SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Certain copper pipe fittings — Decision

On October 20, 2006, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made a preliminary determination of dumping pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) with respect to certain solder joint pressure pipe fittings and solder joint drainage, waste and vent pipe fittings, made of cast copper alloy, wrought copper alloy or wrought copper, for use in heating, plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration applications (certain copper pipe fittings) originating in or exported from the United States of America, the Republic of Korea and the People's Republic of China and made a preliminary determination of subsidizing pursuant to subsection 38(1) of SIMA with respect to certain copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China, restricted to the products enumerated in the appendix contained in the Canada Gazette notice dated June 24, 2006, in which the initiation of the investigation was announced.

The goods in question are commonly classified under the following Harmonized System classification numbers:

7412.10.00.11

7412.10.00.19

7412.10.00.20

7412.20.00.11

7412.20.00.12

7412.20.00.19

7412.20.00.20

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) will conduct a full inquiry into the question of injury to the domestic producers of certain copper pipe fittings, and will make an order or finding not later than 120 days after its receipt of the notice of the preliminary determination of dumping.

Pursuant to section 8 of SIMA, provisional duty is payable on the dumped and subsidized copper pipe fittings that are released from customs during the period commencing October 20, 2006, and ending on the earlier of the day the investigation is terminated, the day on which the Tribunal makes an order or finding, or the day an undertaking is accepted. The amount of provisional duty payable is not greater than the estimated margin of dumping. The Customs Act applies with respect to the accounting and payment of provisional duty. As such, failure to pay duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Customs Act.

Information

The statement of reasons regarding this decision will be issued within 15 days and will also be available on the CBSA's Web site at www.cbsa.gc.ca/sima/ or by contacting either Peter Dupuis at 613-954-7341 or Wayne Lee by telephone at 613-954-0041 or by fax at 613-948-4844.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

COMMENCEMENT OF INQUIRY

Copper pipe fittings

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on October 20, 2006, from the Acting Director General of the Trade Programs Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency, stating that a preliminary determination had been made respecting the dumping of solder joint pressure pipe fittings and solder joint drainage, waste and vent pipe fittings, made of cast copper alloy, wrought copper alloy or wrought copper, for use in heating, plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration applications (copper pipe fittings), originating in or exported from the United States of America, the Republic of Korea and the People's Republic of China and the subsidizing of copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China, restricted to the products enumerated in the Appendix available on the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/dumping/inquirie/notices/nq2g002_e.asp.

Pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated an inquiry (Inquiry No. NQ-2006-002) to determine whether the dumping and subsidizing of the above-mentioned goods have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury, and to determine such other matters as the Tribunal is required to determine under that section.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.

Participation

Each person or government wishing to participate in the inquiry and at the hearing as a party must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before November 7, 2006. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry and at the hearing must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before November 7, 2006.

To allow the Tribunal to determine whether simultaneous interpretation will be required for the hearing, each interested party and each counsel filing a notice of participation or representation must advise the Secretary, at the same time that they file the notice, whether they and their witnesses will be using French, English or both languages at the hearing.

Public hearing

A public hearing relating to this inquiry will be held in the Tribunal Hearing Room, Standard Life Centre, 18th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing January 15, 2007, at 9:30 a.m.

Requests for public interest inquiry

In the event of an injury finding, a request for a public interest inquiry conducted pursuant to subsection 45(1) of SIMA may be made by any party to the injury inquiry or by any other group or person affected by the injury finding. Such a request must be filed with the Tribunal within 45 days of the injury finding. A public interest inquiry is conducted independently from an injury inquiry. However, the Tribunal invites all persons who anticipate that they will have public interest concerns in the event of an injury finding to notify the Tribunal by November 7, 2006. The Tribunal does not seek nor does it expect submissions on public interest issues during the injury inquiry.

Request for submissions on classes of goods

In its statement of reasons for the preliminary determination of injury issued August 8, 2006, the Tribunal found, based on the evidence on the record at that time, that there was a single class of goods. However, the Tribunal also indicated that the arguments made in support of more than one class of goods merited further consideration. Before coming to a definitive decision on the issue of classes of goods, the Tribunal is inviting interested parties to file submissions on that issue.

In making their submissions on classes of goods, the parties are directed to present facts and arguments on the following issues:

  • Whether wrought copper pipe fittings and cast copper pipe fittings are separate classes of goods.
  • Whether pressure copper pipe fittings and drainage, waste and vent (DWV) copper pipe fittings are separate classes of goods.

Parties are also directed to address factors that the Tribunal should look at in considering the classes of goods issue, including

  • the physical characteristics of the goods;
  • the market characteristics of the goods (such as substitutability, pricing and distribution channels);
  • whether the goods fulfil the same customer needs; and
  • any other relevant factors.

Furthermore, the Tribunal requests that parties support their submissions with evidence, such as letters from customers who use different types of copper pipe fittings (wrought v. cast, pressure v. DWV), price lists, documents describing the physical characteristics of the goods, documents indicating the different end uses for copper pipe fittings and documents indicating the type of copper pipe fittings to be used for each end-use application.

Parties filing submissions on classes of goods are invited to do so by noon on November 15, 2006. Parties replying to those submissions are requested to do so by noon on November 22, 2006. The Tribunal requests that parties simultaneously serve each other and the Tribunal. The Tribunal will provide parties with the service list.

Requests for product exclusions

In considering a request for the exclusion of a product from a possible finding, the Tribunal typically looks at whether the domestic industry produces, sells or can produce the product or a substitutable or competing product and whether such exclusion will cause injury to the domestic industry.

The Tribunal's Guide to Making Requests for Product Exclusions describes the procedure for filing requests for specific product exclusions. The guide, a form for filing requests for product exclusions and a form for filing responses to such requests can be found on the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/forms/index_e.asp. Parties can also file submissions in a different format if they so wish, provided that all the information and supporting documentation requested in the forms are included.

Parties whose participation will be limited to filing a product exclusion request are not required to file a notice of participation, as the completed form will serve this purpose.

Interested parties shall file their requests for product exclusions no later than November 23, 2006. Parties shall provide a copy to the Tribunal and to counsel for the domestic producers simultaneously, at the following addresses:

The Secretary
Canadian International Trade
Tribunal
Standard Life Centre
15th Floor
333 Laurier Avenue W
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0G7

Ms. Victoria Bazan
Barrister and Solicitor Counsel
for the domestic producers

Toronto, Ontario
M6P 2N4

Replies to requests for product exclusions shall be filed, in writing, no later than December 6, 2006. Counsel for the domestic producers shall serve the Tribunal and the requester simultaneously.

Interested parties who have made a request for product exclusion and who wish to respond to an opposition must do so by December 13, 2006, serving the Tribunal and counsel for the domestic producers simultaneously, at the addresses provided above.

Parties who submit more than one request for a product exclusion must provide a covering letter to the Tribunal that includes a complete and clear list of all their requests and states that a copy has been served on counsel for the domestic producers.

The Tribunal intends to proceed by way of written submissions and does not anticipate hearing oral testimony on product exclusions unless, in its opinion, it is required.

Confidentiality

Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why that information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such a summary cannot be made.

Any confidential documents must be clearly labelled "Confidential" on the top right corner of each page.

For more information on the treatment of confidential information, see the Guideline on the Designation, Protection, Use and Transmission of Confidential Information on the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/publicat/index_e.asp.

Further information

Along with the notice of commencement of inquiry, the Secretary has sent a letter to the domestic producers, importers, foreign producers and certain purchasers with a known interest in the inquiry, providing details on the procedures, as well as the inquiry schedule. The schedule specifies, among other things, the date for filing replies to Tribunal questionnaires, the date on which the information on record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of participation or representation, and the dates for the filing of submissions by interested parties. Copies of the Instruction Guide for Completing Questionnaires and all questionnaires can be downloaded from the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/question/index_e.asp.

The Tribunal and its staff may conduct plant visits to observe and understand production processes.

Written submissions and correspondence regarding this notice should be addressed to the Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (email).

Parties and the public may file documents electronically with the Tribunal through its Secure E-filing Service. The service utilizes the Government of Canada's epass system, which allows the secure transmission of confidential business information. The information is fully encrypted from the sender to the Tribunal.

However, parties must still file paper copies when instructed to do so. Where a party is required to file hard copies, the electronic version and the hard-copy version must be identical. In case of discrepancies, the hard-copy version will be considered the original.

Written and oral communication with the Tribunal may be in English or in French.
