4. This liability for anti-dumping and countervailing duties results from proceedings conducted under SIMA and from the findings made by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal. Information regarding the normal values of the goods in question and the amount of anti-dumping and countervailing duty payable should be obtained from the exporters. Related information may be made available to importers on a need-to-know basis according to the provisions of Memorandum D14-1-2, Disclosure of Normal Values, Export Prices, and Amounts of Subsidy Established Under the Special Import Measures Act to Importers.

5. For importations of the subject goods produced or exported by a company in Brazil, the People’s Republic of China, Chinese Taipei, India and Ukraine, that has not been issued its own normal values, the anti-dumping duty is equal to 77% of the export price, as determined under section 24, 25 or 29 of SIMA.

6. For importations of the subject goods produced or exported by a company in India that has not been issued its own amount of subsidy, the countervailing duty is equal to 3,150 rupees per metric tonne. Note that while the countervailing duty is payable on all importations, the anti-dumping duty will be reduced by the amount of countervailing duty attributable to export subsidies, in accordance with section 10 of SIMA.
