During the next review of the duties introduced
back in 2001 on hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip from Brazil,
China, India and Ukraine, Canada decided not to extend the 77% duty on goods
from Ukraine.
"The Tribunal rescinded its order with respect
to the dumping of such goods originating in or exported from Ukraine. The
Tribunal found that the continued or resumed dumping of these goods was not
likely to result in injury," the Canadian International Trade Tribunal
said on the website of the Government of Canada.
The Tribunal continued its order with respect to
the dumping of these products from Brazil, China and India.
"Since August 2001, 77% duties had been imposed
on hot-rolled carbon steel products originating in Ukraine in Canada, which
effectively deprived our producers of an economic incentive to export their
products to Canada. After 20 years, finally, Ukrainian steel products can again
be exported to Canada," Ambassador of Ukraine Yulia Kovaliv said on
Facebook, commenting on this decision.
