OTHER CODES AND NOTATIONS  
 Provisional Measures  (Column 4):  Provisional measu res 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 th e Canadian industry (maximum 120 days from the 
notice of the preliminary 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 revi ew of injury; or the date of the conclusion of a 
review of normal values and export prices in cases wh ere there is an existing Canadian International 
Trade 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.   Price Undertaking (Column 6):  This column is used al so to report how Canada implements 
the recommendation adopted by the Committee (G/ ADP/9, dated 29 November 2002).  “Informed” 
means that the authorities informed exporters, vi a the public notice, of the possibilities of price 
undertakings.  “Price undertaking explored” means th at the authorities discussed price undertakings 
with the exporters.   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.  
 N/A: denotes the information is not available. 
  R :  This symbol is 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 sunset review 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 Renewe d means that an existing undertaking 
was not renewed following a review and was a llowed to expire on its anniversary date.  G/ADP/N/112/CAN

 NOTES 
 Note 1 
 
 The margins of dumping indicated in Column 4 reflect the results of the preliminary 
determination of dumping and in Column 5 the results  of the final determina tion of dumping.  Under 
the prospective system for duty assessment, norma l values and export prices are established in 
advance of importation of subject goods and provided  to known exporters.  Where goods are priced at 
or above their specific normal values, they do not incur any duty liability on importation.  As such, the percentages in Columns 4 and 5 do not necessarily reflect the amount of provisional duty or anti-
dumping duty that may be assessed. 
 
Note 2 
 
 As a result of a request to review the orde rs made by the Canadian International Trade 
Tribunal on certain hot-rolled carbon steel plate, the Tribunal initiated an interim review on 
7 May 2003.  The Tribunal indicated that it would ma ke a decision on whether to amend its orders no 
later than 26 June 2003.     On 13 June 2003, the Commissioner of Customs and Revenue initiated an investigation into 
the alleged dumping of certain hot-rolled carbon steel plate from Bulgaria, Czech Republic and 
Romania.  Subsequently, the Tribunal initiated, on  16 June 2003, a preliminary injury enquiry to 
determine whether the evidence discloses a reasonabl e indication that the dumping of the subject 
carbon steel plate has caused material injury or retarda tion or is threatening to cause material injury to 
the Canadian industry. As the Tribunal would be ex amining issues in the preliminary injury enquiry 
similar to those raised in the above-mentioned in terim review, the Tribunal decided to suspend the 
interim review.  The Tribunal recommenced its in terim review and, on 28 November 2003, concluded 
that the order should not be amended.  
Note 3 
  
 At the preliminary determination of dumping hot-rolled steel plate, provisional duties on 
subject goods were assessed as follows: Bulgaria 74.6%; Czech Republic 74.6%; Romania 53.2% or 
74.6% of the export price, depending upon the exporter. 
 
Note 4 
 
 At the preliminary determination of dumping of steel pipe nipples, coup lings and pipe fittings, 
provisional duties were assessed as follows: Pipe nipples 238%, threaded coup lings 119% and pipe 
fittings 101% of export price.  
Note 5 
 
 At the preliminary determination of dumping of hollow structural steel, provisional duties were assessed as follows: Korea 44%; South Africa 22.6% or 44%; Turkey 4. 5%, 11.7% or 44% of 
export price, depending upon the exporter.
