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 Canad ian International Trade 
Tribunal makes its finding regarding injury caused to the Canadian industry (maximum 120 days from the notice of the preliminar y determination). 
Definitive Duties  (Column 5):  Either the date of a positive injury finding, in th e 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 Trib unal 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 d etermination of dumping. 
Price Undertaking (Column 6):  This column is used also to report how Canada implements the recommendation adopted by the Committee (G/ADP/9, dat ed 29 November 
2002).  “Informed” means that the authorities informed exporter s, via the public notice, of the possibilities of price undertak ings.  “Price undertaking explored” means that 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 initia tion, unless otherwise indicated. 
Interim Review :  An interim review is a review that is initiated where there is a reasonable indication that sufficient new facts have arisen  or that there has been a sufficient 
change in the circumstances that led to th e measure, or where there are sufficient fa cts that, although in existence, were not put into evidence during the previous review or 
investigation and were not discoverable by the exercise of reasonable diligence at that time. 
CF: denotes Confidential.  The information provided to the authorities is given on a confidential basis or the results of a calcu lation 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 existi ng anti-dumping measure. 
The symbol R(1)  refers to an administrative review of the normal values and e xport 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 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.

Page 6 NOTES 
Note 1 
 The margins of dumping indicated in Column  4 reflect the results of the preliminary de termination of dumping and in Column 5 t he results of the final determination of 
dumping.  Under the prospective system for duty assessment, normal values 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 p ercentages in Columns 4 and 5 do not necessarily 
reflect the amount of provisional duty or anti-dumping duty that may be assessed. 
 
Note 2 
 The margins of dumping ranged from 0.1% to 110%, expressed as a percentage of the export price. The weighted average margin of dumping was estimated to be 24.4% 
for the entire period of investigation. This is equal to an estimated margin of dumping of US$0.58 per bushel.  
 
Note 3 
 The trade volume figures are for the 2004 crop year.
