The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made Sept. 4 a preliminary determination of dumping respecting certain carbon and alloy steel wire originating in or exported from China, Chinese Taipei, India, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal, Spain, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam.

According to the CBSA decision, provisional duties will be payable on the subject goods that are released from the CBSA on or after Sept. 4, 2025.

Estimated margins of dumping and provisional duties determined by CBSA are; 3.5%-114.2% for China, 138.6% for Chinese Taipei, 138.6% for India, 138.6% for Italy, 3.7%-16.6% for Malaysia, 5.1%-43.5% for Portugal, 138.6% for Spain, 15.9%- 29.6% for Thailand, 24.3%-79.6% for Turkey and 13.4%-138.6% for Vietnam.

The CBA launched the investigation at the end of April following a complaint filed by Sivaco Wire Group and ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada.

The complainants allege that as a result of an increase in the volume of the dumped imports, they have suffered material injury in the form of price undercutting, price depression, lost sales, lost market share, reduced net income and profitability, reduced capacity utilization, inability to raise capital for investments, and reduced employment.

The total Canadian market for certain carbon and alloy steel wire has been estimated to be approximately $463 million annually.
