OTHER CODES AND NOTATIONS 
Provisional Measures  (Column 4):  Provisional measures apply fro m 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 (maxim um 120 days from the notice of th e preliminary de termination). 
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 ex isting 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 norm al value for the final determination 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 exporters, via the public not ice, of the possibilities of price undertakings.  “Price under taking explored” means that the auth orities discussed price undertakings 
with the exporters. 
Total Trade Volume  (Column 11):  The total trade volume is based on statistical data for the latest av ailable 12 month period prior to the initia tion, unless otherwise indicated. 
Interim Review :  An interim review is a review that is initiated where ther e is a reasonable indication that sufficient new facts have arisen  or that there has been a sufficient change in the 
circumstances that led to the measure, or where there are suffici ent facts that, although in existence, were not put into evide nce during the previous review or inve stigation 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 existin g 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 sunset review of an existing anti-dumping meas ure to determine whether the measure should be continued. 
Renewal :  This indicates that an existing unde rtaking 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. 
 
NOTES 
Note 1  The margins of dumping indicated in Column 4 reflect the result s of the preliminary determinatio n of dumping and in Column 5 t he results of the final dete rmination of dumping.  Under 
the prospective system for duty assessment, normal values are established in ad vance of importation of subject goods and provid ed to known exporters.  Where goods are priced at or above their 
specific normal values, they do not incur any duty liability on im portation.  As such, the percentages in Columns 4 and 5 do no t necessarily reflect the amount of  provisional duty or anti-dumping 
duty that may be assessed. 
 
Note 2 There are two injury findings concerning the goods in question fr om the People’s Republic of China.  The finding covering froze n garlic (imported all year l ong) and fresh garlic (imported 
from January 1 to June 30) expired on May 1, 2006.  The other fi nding regarding imports of fresh garlic from July 1 to December  31, inclusive, of each calendar year, will expire March 19, 2007.  
 
Note 3  The margins of dumping ranged from 0.1% to 110%, expressed as a pe rcentage 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 4 The trade volume figures are for the 2004 crop year. 
 
Note 5  The estimated margins of dumping for each exporter is equal to 213%, when expressed as a percentage of export price.
