Provisional Measures (Column 4):  Provisional measures apply from the date of a  preliminary determination of dumping to the date on which the Canad ian International Trade Tribunal
makes its finding regarding injury caused to the Canadian industry (maximum 120 days from the notice of the preliminary determi nation).
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 r eview 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 initia tion, unless otherwise indicated.
CF:  denotes Confidential.  The information provided to the authorities is given on a confidential basis or the results of a calc ulation 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 ex port 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 cont ained therein.
Not renewed :  In column 10, the phrase Not Renewed means that an existing undertaking was not renewed following a review and was allowed t o expire on its anniversary date.G/ADP/N/53/CAN
