PUBLIC/NON‐CONFIDENTIAL HOT‐ROLLED STEEL SHEET

RR‐2015‐002

THE INTEGRATED STEEL MILL/STEEL SERVICE CENTRE QUESTIONNAIRE

INTRODUCTION

The information requested in this questionnaire is for use by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) in connection

with its expiry review respecting the dumping of certain flat hot‐rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip originating in or

exported from Brazil, the People's Republic of China (China) and Ukraine, and the subsidizing of such products originating or

exported from India.

For the detailed definition of the goods subject to this expiry review, please refer to the yellow "Case Information" tab.

For ease of reference in the questionnaire, the goods subject to this expiry review, whether produced in Canada, originating in or

exported from Brazil, China, India or Ukraine (the subject countries) or originating in or exported from any other country (the non‐

subject countries), will be referred to as "hot‐rolled steel sheet".

As a domestic mill/service centre that produces hot‐rolled steel sheet, you are required to complete this questionnaire and return

the completed questionnaire using one of the following methods, no later than Thursday, April 28, 2016:

1. by secure e‐filing service (please visit: https://apps.citt‐tcce.gc.ca/sftapp/CITT/html/transfer_e.html);

2. digital media (e.g. CD or DVD or USB key) sent to the Registrar, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, 333 Laurier Ave W,

15th Floor, Ottawa Ontario K1A 0G7;

3. by electronic mail to citt‐[email protected]. If you use this method, you must accept the associated risks, and the

information you file must belong to your firm only: or,

4. in hard copy sent to the Registrar, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, 333 Laurier Ave W, 15th Floor, Ottawa Ontario

K1A 0G7.

It is preferable to file an electronic version of your completed questionnaire rather than a paper copy. Only one copy, either

electronic or paper is required.

In conducting this expiry review, the Tribunal is required to gather the best possible evidence. It is in your interest to ensure that

your responses to this questionnaire are accurate, complete and returned to the Tribunal by the due date specified above.

Information that is confidential in nature will be treated in accordance with sections 43 to 49 of the Canadian International Trade

Tribunal Act , which require that it shall not be made public in such a manner as to be available for the use of any business

competitor or rival of the reporting person, firm or corporation.

CASE INFORMATION

PRODUCT DEFINITION

The detailed definition of the hot‐rolled steel sheet subject to this expiry review is:

flat hot‐rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip, including secondary or non‑prime material, in various widths from 0.75 in. (19

mm) and wider, and (a) for product in coil form, in thicknesses from 0.054 in. to 0.625 in. (1.37 mm to 15.875 mm) inclusive, and (b)

for product that is cut to length, in thicknesses from 0.054 in. up to but not including 0.187 in. (1.37 mm up to but not including

4.75 mm), excluding (i) flat‐rolled stainless steel sheet and strip and (ii) flat hot‐rolled, cut‑to‑length alloy steel products containing

no less than 11.5 percent manganese, in thicknesses from 0.12 in. to 0.19 in. (3 mm to 4.75 mm), originating in or exported from

Brazil, the People’s Republic of China and Ukraine, and the subsidizing of such products originating in or exported from India.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Hot‐rolled steel sheet includes strip and sheet, but does not include floor plate. Strip is usually produced in widths of up to 12 in.

(305 mm). Sheet is usually produced in widths greater than 12 in. (305 mm).

Hot‐rolled steel sheet is normally produced to a specification of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard, to

some other international standard or to proprietary specifications. ASTM specifications for hot‐rolled steel sheet include, but are not

limited to, A505, A506, A507, A568, A569, A570, A606, A607, A621, A622, A635, A659, A715, A749, A907, A935 and A936. Hot‐rolled

steel sheet is usually classified as either carbon‐manganese or high‐strength low alloy steel and is available in several qualities and

grades, which are usually reflected in the ASTM or equivalent specification or standards.

RR‐2015‐002


Associated Firms: Firms that are related to each other in any manner other than through an arm’s length (independent)

customer/supplier relationship. For example, firms are associated or related if an officer or director of one firm

is an officer or director of the other, if a firm directly or indirectly owns, holds or controls shares of the other

firm, or if a firm is the exclusive distributor for another firm.

Delivery Costs: The average delivery costs (freight, handling and insurance) from the point of direct shipment in Canada to

your customers, whether included in the selling value or incurred separately by your customers, expressed as a

percentage of the net delivered purchase or selling value. If the goods are sold on an FOB basis (ex‐factory),

please provide your best estimate of the delivery costs incurred by your customers.

Direct Employment: Labour cost of employees whose tasks can be readily traced (by observation) to the production of hot‐rolled

steel sheet are properly considered direct labour costs in the firm’s statement of cost of goods manufactured

for hot‐rolled steel sheet.

Further Internal

Processing:

Production of hot‐rolled steel sheet for use as feedstock in the production of steel products other than hot‐

rolled steel sheet.

Indirect Employment: Includes plant personnel such as supervisors, superintendents and quality control employees, but does not

include sales and administrative personnel.

Net Delivered

Purchase Value:

The net delivered purchase value is the laid‐in cost net of all cash, quantity or deferred discounts, allowances,

taxes, rebates and incentives, whether or not shown on the invoice. However, it includes delivery costs

(freight, handling and insurance) to your Canadian warehouse and, where applicable, all import costs such as

customs and other duties, brokerage fees and surcharges.

Net Delivered

Selling Value:

The net delivered selling value includes sales to a third party or an affiliate. It is net of all cash, quantity or

deferred discounts, allowances and taxes whether or not shown on the invoice. These discounts, allowances

and taxes include, but are not limited to, discounts and cash discounts, rebates and incentives. However, it

includes all delivery costs (freight, handling and insurance) incurred by your firm from the point of direct

shipment in Canada and included in the selling price or an estimate of such delivery costs if incurred by your

customers.

Period of Review: This review covers the period from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2015.

Practical Plant Capacity: This is the greatest level of output from the machinery and equipment used in the production of hot‐rolled

steel sheet that your plants can achieve on a continuous basis within the framework of a realistic work pattern.

Consideration should be given to the typical product mix, number of shifts per day, annual operating days, etc.,

over the past five years.

Primary Goods: Refers to primary hot‐rolled steel sheet whose quality is superior to seconds quality and would be recognized

and sold as the industry standard.

Seconds: Refers to secondary or non‐primary hot‐rolled steel sheet whose quality is not superior.

Tolling: The act of processing or transforming another firm's hot‐rolled steel sheet into finished hot‐rolled steel sheet,

for a fee, where the ownership of the product remains with the firm requesting the tolling, i.e. there is no

transfer of ownership of the hot‐rolled steel sheet being processed or transformed into finished hot‐rolled

steel sheet.

Units of Volume: All responses to volume questions should be expressed in metric tonnes (mt).

Please note that: 1 metric tonne (mt) = 1 tonne = 1,000 kilograms = 1.102311 tons.

Values: All responses to value questions should be expressed in Canadian dollars (CAN$).
