The following table identifies the exporters who currently have been issued normal values. Please refer to the Normal value model ID table for information relating to model IDs, model descriptions and units of measure. Information regarding specific normal values of subject goods should be obtained from the exporter. Please note that model information is posted only for exporters who have successfully enrolled in an Exporter ID.

No exporters in China received a specific amount of subsidy in the most recent subsidy re-investigation. Please consult the CBSA's Notice of conclusion of re-investigation.

For importations of subject goods originating in or exported from China for which the exporter has not been issued specific amounts of subsidy, the countervailing duty is equal to 469 CNY per metric tonne.

Disclosure of normal values and amounts of subsidy

The liability for anti-dumping and countervailing duty results from the proceedings conducted under SIMA and from the finding of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT). Information regarding the normal value and amount of subsidy of the subject goods in question and the amount of anti-dumping and countervailing duty payable should be obtained from the exporter. Related information may be made available to importers on a need-to-know basis in accordance with the provisions of Memorandum D14-1-2, Disclosure of Normal Values, Export Prices, and Amounts of Subsidy Established Under the Special Import Measures Act.
