【SMM Steel】The Canadian International Trade Tribunal launched a sunset review investigation on January 5, 2026, to examine anti-dumping measures on heavy plate imports. The inquiry aims to assess whether revoking the current anti-dumping duties would likely lead to a resumption of dumping by Taiwan and Germany. Domestic producers in Canada are concerned that removing these protections could cause financial injury. The Canada Border Services Agency will determine the likelihood of continued dumping by June 4, 2026. If the agency finds a persistent threat, the CITT will then decide by November 10, 2026, whether to maintain the existing anti-dumping measures. The products involved are hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy steel plate, in cut lengths, with a width exceeding 72 inches (1,829 mm) up to and including 152 inches (3,860 mm), and a thickness from 0.375 inches (9.525 mm) to 4.5 inches (114.3 mm) inclusive, excluding plate in coil form and floor plate.
