Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate

AMPS

Detailed product description required for purposes of contraventions C223 and C224 for the CITT Injury Findings dated February 19, 2007 for Copper Pipe Fittings originating in or exported from the United States of America, the Republic of Korea and the People's Republic of China

Listed below is the information that must be provided to the CBSA regardless of whether the documentation is provided as paper or electronically (e.g. through the use of ACROSS). Please note that if the following information is not provided, then the normal value will be determined based on the export price advanced by 242%. In the case of subject goods either exported from or originating from China, if the following information is not provided, then the amount of subsidy will be equal to 17.73 Chinese Renminbi per kilogram. This may result in the application of penalties pursuant to the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS). The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping or countervailing duties.

The import documentation should clearly indicate the following:

• country of origin
• name and address of producer/manufacturer, if known (mandatory where the vendor is not considered the exporter for SIMA purposes)
• location of plant/mill of production, if known
• place from which direct shipment to Canada began
• name and address of vendor (if different from producer)
• customer's name and address
• Canadian importer's name and address (if different from the customer)
• full product description including:

  Type of fitting:

  Indicate model name in terms of one of the following:

  • Female Adapter, Male Adapter or Other Adapter
  • Bushing
  • Coupling
  • Elbow
  • Flange
  • Pressure Tee
  • Union
  • P Trap
  • DWV TY
  • DWV Y
  • Cap and Cleanout

  Where applicable, provide additional product description for each product. For example, identify female adapters that are female street, female drop ear and female hi ear.

  Configuration or Connection of the Fitting:

  Indicate each configuration or connection (e.g., C, M, FE, FTG identified in the Abbreviation Chart on the CBSA's website at: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/i-e/ad1358/ad1358-i-pi-eng.html). For example, a female street adapter has a connection consisting of FTG X FE.

  Size of the Fitting:

  Indicate the nominal size(s) of the fitting. The nominal size of each connection is to be shown in "inches". Plumbing and heating fittings are marked according to nominal sizes that correspond to the inside diameters, while fittings for air conditioning and refrigeration are based on the actual outer diameter sizes. To determine the nominal size of a fitting that is measured in terms of its outside diameter size, always subtract 1/8" from the outside diameter size. If the size of the fitting is identified in "metric" but not made specifically to metric dimensions, indicate the equivalent measurement in inches.

  Application of the Fitting:

  • Indicate "WO" for Wrought Pressure.
  • Indicate "WD" for Wrought Drainage.
  • Indicate "CP" for Cast Pressure.
  • Indicate "CD" for Cast Drainage.
  • Indicate "PH" if this product was sold for a plumbing and heating application.
  • Indicate "ACR" if this product was sold for an air-conditioning and refrigeration application.
  • Indicate "ALL" if you are not aware of the application.

  Match to the List of Fittings Identified in the Tribunal's Finding:

  Using the list of copper pipe fittings found in http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/i-e/ad1358/ad1358-i-pi-eng.html, indicate the description which is identical to the product that was shipped to Canada. Please note that a cast (wrought) model shown with an asterisk is a match for a wrought (cast) model you shipped to Canada if it has all of the other model characteristics, i.e. configuration and size.

• date of sale, date of shipment
• quantity (including, the number of units and the weight in kilograms)
• unit selling price, total selling price
• currency of settlement used (e.g., US$, CDN$, etc.)
• terms and conditions of sale (e.g., FOB, CIF, etc.)
• all costs, expenses, and charges incurred by the exporter and vendor in the shipment of the subject goods to Canada from the point of direct shipment (including, the inland and ocean freight, insurance, etc.)
