3 The anti-dumping duties currently imposed on imports of steel pipes and tubes are charged on a 
provisional basis on account of the five-year review being conducted by the Anti-Dumping and Subsidies 
Commission (CASS), pursuant to Decision No. CASS-ADP-004/05 of 20 June 2005, to determine whether the expiry of the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed on such imports would result in the continuation or 
repetition of unfair practices and injury to  the domestic production of like goods. G/ADP/N/145/VEN
