Canada recently issued a “final affirmative determination” in its expiry review of AD and CVD orders on certain mainland Chinese “solder joint pressure pipe fittings and solder joint drainage, waste and vent pipe fittings,” HKTDC said. The Canadian International Trade Tribunal is expected to make an injury determination by Sept. 14, the report said, and could either renew the orders for five years or rescind them.

Canada also began separate AD and CVD reviews of certain Chinese upholstered domestic seating, HKTDC said. The goods are exported to Canada by China’s HTL Furniture and Gu Jia Intelligent Household Jiaxing. The companies must submit a response to Canada by May 12 to participate in the review.

Several Brazilian AD orders on Chinese products are set to expire this year, HKTDC said. The orders include duties on certain Chinese vacuum flasks, high-carbon steel stranded wire, high-carbon and high-resistance steel wire, seamless carbon steel line pipe used for oil and gas pipelines, and citric acid and certain citrate salts.
