1The dumped imports, expressed as a percentage of domestic consumption, were calculated on the basis of all imports from the cou ntries under investigation.
2Annual administrative review of the anti-dumping duties imposed.
3The anti-dumping duties imposed during the initial investigation were altered and are now equivalent to the difference between the base price of US$531.82 per tonne in bulk and the bulk f.o.b. price declared
by the importer, provided that the declared price is less than the base price; however, the duty may not under any circumstance s exceed the estimated overall dumping margin of US$72.65 per tonne in bulk. This
modification was a result of the determination by the administrative review that the dumping margin had decreased as a result o f changes in both the normal value and the export price.

8Decree No. 991 of 1998, regulating the application of anti-dumping duties, establishes that, in the case of countries with whic h Colombia has not made trade commitments relating to the application of anti-
dumping duties, INCOMEX may impose provisional duties even in the decision to initiate the investigation.  As a result, an ex officio  investigation was initiated and an anti-dumping duty imposed on imports originating
in Chinese Taipei in the form of a 51.49 per cent tariff surcharge, which may not exceed the established absolute dumping margi n of US$657.55 per tonne.
9The preliminary stage established a dumping margin of 45.54 per cent and the initial anti-dumping duty imposed on Chinese Taipe i was modified to a provisional duty in the form of a 26.46 per cent tariff
surcharge,  which may not exceed the established absolute dumping margin of US$605.31 per tonne.
10The dumped imports, expressed as a percentage of domestic consumption, were calculated on the basis of all imports from the cou ntries under investigation.
