  BASIS FOR DETERMINATION CODES 
 
HM - home market price OP - prices charged by other producer CV - constructed value O - other (specify) TM - third country market price  SP - prices charged by same producer 
OCT - costs of other producer in third country  FA - facts available 
OPT - prices charged by other producer in third country  
OTHER CODES AND NOTATIONS 
  Provisional Measures  (Column 4):  Provisional measu res 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 th e 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 revi ew of injury; or the date of the conclusion of a 
review of normal values and export prices in cases wh ere 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. 
 
 Price Undertaking (Column 6):  This column is used al so to report how Canada implements 
the recommendation adopted by the Committee (G/ ADP/9, dated 29 November 2002).  “Informed” 
means that the authorities informed exporters, vi a the public notice, of the possibilities of price 
undertakings.  “Price undertaking explored” means th at 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 initiation, 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 su fficient change in the 
circumstances that led to the meas ure, or where there are sufficient facts that, although in existence, 
were not put into evidence during the previous revi ew 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 calculation 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 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 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. 
  G/ADP/N/173/CAN 
 Page 5 
 
 
   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 Renewe d means that an existing undertaking 
was not renewed following a review and was a llowed to expire on its anniversary date.
