Canada initiates anti-dumping investigation into carbon and alloy steel wire imports from Vietnam
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has officially initiated an anti-dumping investigation into certain carbon and alloy steel wire products imported from several countries, including Vietnam. The complaint was filed by Sivaco Wire Group, a leading Canadian steel wire producer established in 1949.
CBSA is expected to issue a Statement of Reasons within 15 days (anticipated on May 7) to provide more details about the investigation. Within 90 days, the agency will release a preliminary determination (expected on July 21) and may impose provisional duties during this period.
According to data from Trademap, Vietnam’s export value to Canada during the period 2021–2023 reached USD 1.6 million, USD 543,000, and USD 860,000, respectively.
In addition, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) will investigate whether Canadian industry has suffered injury and will issue a preliminary decision within 60 days (expected by June 21). If the Tribunal concludes there is no injury as defined by law, the investigation will be terminated.
CBSA has sent requests for information to Vietnamese exporters to gather data for the investigation. These requests ask businesses to provide detailed information about sales, costs, and pricing structures for shipments exported to Canada in 2024. The agency also requests data on domestic sales activities and costs for similar products during the same period.
The Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (under the Ministry of Industry and Trade) recommends that producers and exporters of the relevant products closely monitor developments, proactively study and understand Canada’s anti-dumping investigation procedures and regulations, and determine an appropriate defense strategy.
Enterprises are also urged to provide full and accurate information and to fully cooperate with Canadian authorities throughout the investigation process. According to the Ministry, any lack of cooperation or incomplete responses may result in the CBSA relying on adverse facts available, including applying the highest dumping margin for the company involved.
