Garlic Web Notice

On January 25, 2006, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal) determined, pursuant to subsection 76.03(10) of the Special Import Measures Act, that the expiry of:

• its finding made on May 2, 2001, in Inquiry No. NQ-2000-006, concerning garlic, fresh or frozen, originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China (China) and Vietnam, excluding fresh garlic subject to the finding made in Inquiry No. NQ-96-002; and
• its order made on March 20, 2002, in Expiry Review No. RR-2001-001, continuing without amendment, its finding made on March 21, 1997, in Inquiry No. NQ-96-002, concerning fresh garlic originating in or exported from China, imported into Canada from July 1 to December 31, inclusive, of each calendar year

are unlikely to result in injury. The Tribunal will issue orders, with reasons, rescinding the finding and order when they expire on May 1, 2006, and March 19, 2007, respectively.

As a result, the anti-dumping duty payable upon the importation of the subject goods will no longer be applicable as of the dates of expiry, provided that the Tribunal's determination is not appealed, or that a new investigation is initiated. As there are two cases involved with respect to the subject goods, the Canada Border Services Agency has provided the following information to clarify the impact of the Tribunal's determination on importations of the subject goods and the applicable anti-dumping duty.
