The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that, pursuant to subsection 76.01(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, it has initiated an interim review of its findings made on January 7, 2005, in Inquiry No. NQ-2004-005 concerning the dumping of certain fasteners originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China and Chinese Taipei and the subsidizing of such products originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (the findings).

On April 15, 2008, the Tribunal received a request from IJ Windows & Doors Ltd. (IJ) for an interim review to exclude certain screws from the scope of the findings.

After reviewing the additional information received from IJ, the Tribunal determined that the request for an interim review was properly documented.

The Tribunal has notified the President of the Canada Border Services Agency, as well as other interested persons, of the commencement of an interim review. The Tribunal will make its decision on whether to amend the findings not later than October 24, 2008.
