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 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 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 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.
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.
NOTES
Note 1.  The total trade volume reported on the stainless steel round bar investigation covers the
