values andexport prices ofanexisting anti-dumping measure. Where aninvestigation ofthenormal
values andtheexport prices isconducted inthecontext ofareview ofanexisting anti-dumping measure,
thedateofcompletion ofthereview isshown incolumn 5,butgenerally itisnotpossible tostatethe
margin ofdumping inthiscolumn. Thisisbecause thereview procedure wasinitiated toallow Canadian
authorities todetermine thecurrent normal value oftheimported product inorder todetermine whether
subsequent imports oftheproduct aredumped. Asthemargin ofdumping isequal tothedifference
between theexport price andthenormal value, itisimpossible todetermine, apriori ,thepercentage
margin ofdumping.
2. Thesymbol R(2)isusedifaninvestigation isopened inthecontext ofareview ofinjury of
anexisting anti-dumping measure todetermine whether themeasure should becontinued.
3. Provisional measures apply from thedateofapreliminary determination ofdumping tothe
dateonwhich theCanadian International Trade Tribunal makes itsfinding regarding injury caused
totheCanadian industry (maximum 120daysfrom thenotice ofthepreliminary determination).***
Thepercentage represents theestimated weighted average margin ofdumping calculated asapercentage
ofnormal value.
