OTHER CODES AND NOTATIONS  
 Provisional Measures  (Column 4):  Provisional meas ures 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 sufficient 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.  G/ADP/N/132/CAN 
 Page 7 
 
 
  
 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 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. G/ADP/N/132/CAN

 NOTES 
 Note 1 
 
 The margins of dumping indicated in Column 4 reflect the results of the preliminary 
determination of dumping and in Column 5 the results  of the final determina tion of dumping.  Under 
the prospective system for duty assessment, norma l values and export prices are established in 
advance of importation of subject goods and provide d to known exporters.  Where goods are priced at 
or above their specific normal values, they do not in cur any duty liability on importation.  As such, the 
percentages in Columns 4 and 5 do not necessarily reflect the amount of provisional duty or anti-
dumping duty that may be assessed. 
 
 Note 2  
 In view of the large number of exporters, sampling criteria were used.  Consequently 
complete trade volume is not available.   
Note 3 
 
 The selected exporters from all countries subj ect to the laminate flooring investigation 
accounted for over 70% of the value of all laminate  flooring imports into Canada, based on the import 
statistics available at the time of initiation.  These exporters also accounted for over 60% of the total 
exports of subject goods from their own individual country.   Note 4   
 At the preliminary determination of dumpi ng on steel fasteners, provisional duties (for 
dumping) on subject goods were assessed as follows: People’s Republic of China from 5% to 126% 
of the export price, depending on the exporter; Chin ese Taipei from 2% to 126 % of the export price, 
depending on the exporter. 
 
Note 5 
 
 At the preliminary determination of dumping of  laminate flooring, provisional duties were 
assessed on subject goods at 0.0%, 2.2% or 8.7 % of the export price, depending on the exporter.
