On January 16, 2023, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) started the first expiry review of the anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) on certain copper pipe fittings originating in or exported from Vietnam. Following the CITT’s expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) also launched an expiry review investigation on January 17, 2023, to determine whether the revocation of the existing AD and CVD measures is likely to result in the continuation or reoccurrence of dumping or subsidizing of the subject goods.

The products involved are pressure pipe fittings and drainage, waste and vent pipe fittings, made of cast copper alloy, wrought copper alloy, or wrought copper, applied in heating, plumbing, air conditioning, and refrigeration, classified under HS codes 7412.10.00.11, 7412.10.00.19, 7412.10.00.90, 7412.20.00.11, 7412.20.00.12, 7412.20.00.19, and 7412.20.00.90.

The CBSA will make its final determination no later than June 15, 2023, and will issue a statement of reasons by June 30, 2023.
