DSB Recommendations and Rulings in the Dispute  
Canada – Anti-Dumping Measures on Imports of Certain Carbon  
Steel Welded Pipe from the Separate Customs Territory of  
Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu  
(WT/DS482)  
 
 
Canada submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on Rules and 
Procedure s Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU).  
 
On 25 January 2017, the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) adopted recommendations and rulings in 
the dispute Canada – Anti-Dumping Measures on Imports of Certain Carbon Steel Welded Pipe 
from the Separate Customs  Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (DS482). At the DSB 
meeting on 20 February 2017, Canada informed the DSB that, pursuant to Article 21.3 of the DSU, 
it intended to implement the DSB's  recommendations and rulings in this dispute. On 20 February 
2017, Canada and Chinese Taipei also informed the DSB that they had agreed that the reasonable 
period of time for Canada to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB would expire 
on 25  March 2018.  
 
Regarding the recommendations and rulings of the DSB relating to the Special Import Measures 
Act (SIMA), on 22 March 2017, the Government of Canada announced that amendments would be 
made to SIMA in respect of exporters found to have a de mi nimis margin of dumping in order to 
ensure that Canada brings itself into compliance with the DSB's recommendations and rulings. On 
22 June 2017, these amendments were passed into law as part of the Budget Implementation Act, 
2017, No. 1 .  
 
Regarding the r ecommendations and rulings of the DSB relating to the measures of the Canada 
Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) in the 
investigation of certain carbon steel welded pipe from Chinese Taipei, on 28 July 2017 th e CBSA 
initiated a review of its final determination of dumping and the CITT initiated a review of its threat 
of injury finding in that investigation, having regard to the DSB recommendations and rulings. The 
CBSA concluded its review on 29 September 2017,  whereby it amended the final determination of 
dumping of carbon steel welded pipe from Chinese Taipei in order to exclude two Chinese Taipei 
exporters that had de minimis margins of dumping. The CBSA also revised the margins of dumping 
for "all other expo rters" from Chinese Taipei. On 8 December 2017, the CITT completed its review WT/DS482/7/Add.4  
 
- 2 - 
 
  and continued the original finding of threat of injury, excluding Chinese Taipei exporters with de 
minimis margins of dumping.  
 
Following the legislative amendments and the issuance of the amended final determination of 
dumping and the threat of injury finding, Canada considers that it has fully implemented the DSB's 
recommendations and rulings in DS482.
