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 noti ce 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 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 Tra de 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 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 in formed exporters, via the public notice, of the possibilities of pr ice undertakings.  "Pri ce 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 the measure, or where there are su fficient facts that, a lthough 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 auth orities is given on a confidential basis or the results of a calc ulation would disclose information 
provided on a confidential basis. 
 
 n.a.:  Denotes the information is not available.  
   G/ADP/N/153/CAN
 Page 5 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 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. 
  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 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 
 At the preliminary determination of dumping on copper rod, provisional duties (for dumping) on subject goods were assessed as follows: Brazil 4.1 per cent of the export 
price for the actual Brazilian exporter and 16.7 per cent of th e export price for goods from any other exporter of subject good s from Brazil; Russian Federation 18.4 per cent of 
the export price.    
 
Note 3 
 There were two injury findings concerning the goods in question from the People’s Republic of China.  The finding covering froz en garlic (imported all year long) and 
fresh garlic (imported from January 1 to June 30) expired on May 1, 2006.  The other finding regarding imports of fresh garlic from July 1 to December 31, inclusive, of each 
calendar year, will expire March 19, 2007.  
 
Note 4 
 At the preliminary determination of dumping on copper pipe fittings, provisional duties (for dumping) on subject goods were as sessed as follows: People’s Republic of 
China 39 per cent or 116 per cent of the export price, depending on the exporter;  Republic of Korea 103 per cent or 188 per ce nt of the export price, depending on the exporter;  
the United States from 0 per cent to 265 per cent of the export price, depending on the exporter. 
 
Note 5 
 The estimated margins of dumping for each ex porter is equal to 213 per cent, when e xpressed as a percentage of export price.
