Canada Keeps HR Duties on Three Countries, Lets Them Lapse for Ukraine
Written by Laura Miller
May 16, 2022
Canada’s government has decided to continue antidumping duty orders on hot rolled sheet and strip from Brazil and China and a countervailing duty order on HR from India, while allowing the AD duty order on HR imports from Ukraine to expire.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) issued its final ruling in the expiry review of the duties, which are applicable to imports of HR carbon and alloy sheet and strip, including secondary and non-prime material. The duties have been in place since 2001.
As a result of the CITT’s order, the duties on HR imports from Brazil, China, and India will continue for at least another five years until the next expiry review is conducted.
Commenting on the expiration of the duties on Ukrainian product, Yulia Kovaliv, Ukraine’s ambassador-designate to Canada, on her Facebook page said, “Since August 2001, there has been 77% tariffs on flat hot-carbon steel from Ukraine in Canada, which in fact stripped our manufacturers of the economic incentive to export their products to Canada. In 20 years, finally Ukrainian steel products can be exported to Canada again. We welcome the Canadian International Trade Tribunal decision today.”
Earlier this month, the US said it will remove the 232 tariffs on Ukrainian steel for one year.

Leibowitz: The consequences of a new barrage of trade cases on coated steel
Domestic steel producers and the United Steelworkers (USW) union filed a barrage of trade cases last week. This is hardly news. Ever since the Commerce Department ruled that Vietnam is still treated as a nonmarket economy (NME) for antidumping purposes, many in the business expected new cases on the product that Vietnam excels at—“corrosion-resistant steel.” Nor is it a surprise that these cases roped in nine countries in addition to Vietnam: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. All these countries rank in the top ten exporters of corrosion-resistant steel to the United States. These petitions are a broadside against coated flat-rolled steel imports.
