EXPIRY REVIEW INITIATION

August 18, 2004

Expiry Review No.: RR-2004-002
Certain women's boots

On August 18, 2004, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act, initiated an expiry review of its order made on May 1, 2000, concerning certain women's boots originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China. As a result, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency initiated an investigation on August 19, 2004, to determine whether the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods.

Questions relating to the expiry review should be addressed to Gilbert Huneault at (613) 954-7376
