CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL
COMMENCEMENT OF INQUIRY
Thermoelectric containers
Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on August 13, 2008, from the Director General of the Trade Programs Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency, stating that a preliminary determination had been made respecting the dumping and subsidizing of thermoelectric containers that provide cooling and/or warming with the use of a passive heat sink and a thermoelectric module, excluding liquid dispensers, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.
Pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated an inquiry (Inquiry No. NQ-2008-002) 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.
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.
Request for submissions on classes of goods
In its statement of reasons for the preliminary injury inquiry issued July 29, 2008, 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 issue of whether there was more than one class of goods would need to be fully addressed in the context of a final injury inquiry. 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 submissions on classes of goods, the parties are asked to present facts and arguments on whether the following constitute separate classes of goods:
- thermoelectric containers used for travel, whether sold to consumers or to commercial users;
- thermoelectric containers exclusively for home use, i.e. excluding those that can also be used for travel;
- thermoelectric containers used for retail display; and
- thermoelectric containers used as wine display/wine coolers.
Parties are also asked to address factors that the Tribunal should examine in considering the question of classes of goods, 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 thermoelectric containers, price lists, documents describing the physical characteristics of the goods and documents indicating the different end uses for thermoelectric containers.
Parties filing submissions on classes of goods are required to file 20 copies of their submissions with the Tribunal no later than noon, on August 28, 2008. The Tribunal will distribute copies to all parties. Parties wishing to respond to those submissions are required to file 20 copies of their reply submissions with the Tribunal no later than noon, on September 5, 2008. The Tribunal will distribute copies of the reply submissions to all parties for their information.
Public hearing
A public hearing relating to this inquiry will be held in the Tribunal Hearing Room, 18th Floor, Standard Life Centre, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing November 12, 2008, at 9:30 a.m.
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 August 26, 2008. 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 August 26, 2008.
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 or English or both languages at the hearing.
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 completely separate 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 simply notify the Tribunal by August 26, 2008. The Tribunal is not seeking and does not expect submissions on public interest issues during the injury inquiry.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.
In order to observe and understand production processes, the Tribunal, accompanied by its staff, may conduct plant visits.
Along with the notice of commencement of inquiry, the Secretary has sent a letter to the domestic producer, importers, foreign producers and certain purchasers with a known interest in the inquiry providing details on the procedures, as well as the schedule for the inquiry. The letter 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 all the questionnaires issued can be downloaded from the Tribunal’s Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/question/index_e.asp.
The Tribunal’s Guide to Making Requests for Product Exclusions, which can be found on the Tribunal’s Web site, describes the procedure for filing requests for specific product exclusions. The Guide includes a form for filing requests for product exclusions and a form for any party that opposes a request to respond to such requests. This does not preclude parties from making submissions in a different format if they so wish, provided that all of the information and supporting documentation requested in the forms are included. Requests to exclude goods from the finding shall be filed by interested parties no later than noon, on October 14, 2008. Parties opposed or consenting or not opposed to the request for exclusion shall file written reply submissions no later than noon, on October 22, 2008. Should the request for a specific product exclusion be opposed, and if the interested party wishes to reply, it must do so no later than noon, on October 29, 2008.
Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information 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.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL
EXPIRY OF FINDINGS
Wood slats
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice, pursuant to subsection 76.03(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), that its findings made on June 18, 2004, in Inquiry No. NQ-2003-003, concerning wood slats originating in or exported from Mexico and the People’s Republic of China, are scheduled to expire (Expiry No. LE-2008-001) on June 17, 2009. Under SIMA, findings of injury or threat of injury and the associated special protection in the form of anti-dumping or countervailing duties expire five years from the date of the last order or finding, unless an expiry review has been initiated before that date.
Any firm, organization, person or government wishing to participate as a party in these proceedings must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before September 2, 2008. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in these proceedings must also file a notice of representation with the Secretary on or before September 2, 2008. Qualified counsel who wish to have access to any confidential documents filed in these proceedings must file their notices of representation, declarations and undertakings, as well as the notices of participation signed by the parties that they represent, by the same date.
Parties requesting or opposing the initiation of an expiry review of the said findings shall file 20 copies of written public submissions containing relevant information, opinions and arguments, with the Secretary of the Tribunal not later than September 5, 2008. Parties should endeavour to base their submissions on public information; however, confidential information relevant to the issues before the Tribunal may be filed, if necessary, along with a comprehensive public summary or edited version thereof.
Submissions shall include evidence, e.g. documents and sources that support the factual statements in the submissions, and argument concerning all relevant factors, including
- the likelihood of continued or resumed dumping of the goods;
- the likely volume and price ranges of dumped imports if dumping were to continue or resume;
- the domestic industry’s recent performance (data for the past three years and for the most recent interim period), including supporting data and statistics showing trends in production, sales, market share, domestic prices, costs and profits;
- the likelihood of injury to the domestic industry if the findings were allowed to expire, having regard to the anticipated effects of a continuation or resumption of dumped imports on the industry’s future performance;
- any other developments affecting, or likely to affect, the performance of the domestic industry;
- changes in circumstances, domestically or internationally, including changes in the supply of or demand for the goods, and changes in trends in, and sources of, imports into Canada; and
- any other matter that is relevant.
Where there are opposing views, each party that filed a submission in response to the notice of expiry will be given an opportunity to respond in writing to the representations of other parties. In these circumstances, the Tribunal will distribute copies of the public submissions to each party that filed a submission with the Tribunal. Confidential submissions will be distributed by the Tribunal only to those counsels who have filed undertakings. Parties wishing to respond to the submissions must do so not later than September 15, 2008.
An expiry review at the request of any firm, organization, person or government will not be initiated unless the Tribunal decides that there is sufficient information to indicate that it is warranted.
The Tribunal will issue a decision on October 1, 2008, on whether an expiry review is warranted. If the Tribunal decides that a review is not warranted, the findings will expire on their scheduled expiry date. The Tribunal will issue its reasons not later than 15 days after its decision. If the Tribunal decides to initiate a review, it will issue a notice of expiry review.
The Tribunal’s Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews can be found on its Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca. In addition to providing more detailed information on the proceeding whereby the Tribunal determines if an expiry review is warranted, the draft guideline explains how an expiry review is conducted if the Tribunal determines that one is warranted. In an expiry review, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) first determines whether the expiry of the order or finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing of the goods. If the CBSA determines that the expiry of the order or finding in respect of any goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing, the Tribunal will then conduct an inquiry to determine if the continued or resumed dumping or subsidizing is likely to result in injury or retardation.
Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information 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).
Documents may be filed 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, paper copies must still be filed in the required 20 copies. When a paper copy and an electronic version of the same document are filed with the Tribunal, both must be identical. In case of discrepancies, the paper copy will be considered the original.
Written and oral communication with the Tribunal may be in English or in French.
