1The final resolution against Canada in the investigation into steel plate in coils was published in the Official Journal of the  Federation of 28 December 1995 and Canada then requested a panel in NAFTA, in
which the 108% duty was imposed.
2The Ministry concluded that there is no domestic production of vat blue affected by imports from the United State of America, f or which reason it was decided to eliminate the provisional countervailing duty.G/ADP/N/41/MEX

3The resolution which declared the initiation of the review of the final countervailing duties imposed on imports of organic che micals, corresponding to goods in 395 sub-headings of tariff headings 2901 to 2942
of the General Import Taxation Act, originating in the People's Republic of China, regardless of the country of consignment.  I n the review procedure, the SECOFI did not include the product known as metamizole sodium
or dipyrone sodium, which falls under heading 2933.11.04 of the General Import Taxation Act, because it learned of the existenc e of domestic production.
*The symbol (R) is used if an investigation is opened in the context of a review of an existing anti-dumping measure or after a n allegation of a breach of an undertaking.
**Trade volume is based on statistical data for the latest available calendar year prior to initiation.  The data on trade volu me are for the total trade volume of the products subject to the measure and from the
country or customs territory under investigation.  Percentage, or amount per unit as appropriate.
***Imports during the period under investigation as percentage of domestic consumption during the same period.
