The Canadian International Trade Tribunal today said that it will continue to try to prevent Chinese-made steel from coming into the Canadian market. The CITT believes impose anti-dumping duties on steel made in China are still required to protect Canadian industry.
Canadian steelmakers will, however, now have to compete against steel manufactured in Russia and in South Africa. The CITT lifted anti-dumping duties it had previously imposed on steel from those countries.
Mind you, we don’t exactly have a lot of Canadian steelmakers these days. Stelco, Dofasco, Ipsco and Algoma Steel have all been acquired by foreign steel makers since Stelco first complained about the Chinese and the Russians back in 1987.
