BASIS FOR DETERMINATION CODES:
HM -   home market price
OP  -   prices charged by other producer
FA -   facts available
LDC - treatment having regard to Article 15 of the AgreementTM -   third country market price 
OCT - costs of other producer in third country
SP -   prices charged by same producer
CV -   constructed value OPT - prices charged by other producer in third country
O -     other (specify)
OTHER CODES AND NOTATIONS:
Provisional Measures  (Column 4): Provisional measures apply from the date of a preliminary
determination of dumping to the date on which the Canadian International Trade Tribunal makes its
finding regarding injury caused to the Canadian industry (maximum 120 days from the notice of thepreliminary determination).
Definitive Duties  (Column 5): Either the date of a positive injury finding, in the case of an
investigation or the date of the conclusion of a review of injury; or the date of the conclusion of a
review of normal values and export prices in cases where there is an existing Canadian InternationalTrade Tribunal finding of injury.  In the case of an investigation, the percentage represents the
weighted average margin of dumping as a percentage of normal value for the final determination of
dumping.
Total Trade Volume  (Column 11): The total trade volume is based on statistical data for the latest
available 12 month period prior to the initiation, unless otherwise indicated.
CF: denotes Confidential.  The information provided to the authorities is given on a confidential basis
or the results of a calculation would disclose information provided on a confidential basis.
R: This symbol has been used in the context of a review of an existing anti-dumping measure.
The symbol R(1)  refers to an administrative review of the normal values and export prices of
an existing anti-dumping measure.  The completion date of the review is shown in column 5;
however, generally it is not possible to state the margin of dumping as it is not calculated in a
review.
The symbol R(2)  refers to a review of injury of an existing anti-dumping measure to
determine whether the measure should be continued.
Renewal :  This indicates that an existing undertaking was renewed following a review.
Amendment : This indicates a technical amendment was made to the undertaking, normally to
account for changes in the price or terms contained therein.
Not Renewed : In column 10, the phrase Not Renewed means that an existing undertaking was not
renewed following a review and was allowed to expire on its anniversary date.G/ADP/N/41/CAN

NOTES:
Note 1. The Canadian International Trade Tribunal issued the notice of review on September 2, 1997.
In preparation for the public hearings, the Tribunal received notifications from the major
Canadian producer and another producer indicating that the companies were withdrawing
from the Tribunal’s review.  As the Tribunal did not have sufficient information to prepare astaff report, the total volume of trade is not available.  The Tribunal decided not to continue
the review and issued the order to rescind the finding on February 24, 1998.
Note 2. The total trade volume on the stainless steel round bar investigation from Chinese Taipei,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom covers the period
01.10.96 to 30.09.97.
Note 3. The total trade volume on the stainless steel round bar investigation from India covers the
period 01.10.96 to 28.02.98.  This investigation was commenced on March 06, 1998,
subsequent to the investigation mentioned in Note 2.
Note 4. The copper and brass fittings subject to the investigation were limited to those produced in the
United States of America by or on behalf of Elkhart Products Corp., Nibco Inc., and Mueller
Industries, Inc., and assigns.G/ADP/N/41/CAN
