IN THE MATTER OF a preliminary injury inquiry, under subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act, respecting:

THE DUMPING OF LEATHER FOOTWEAR WITH METAL TOE CAPS, ORIGINATING IN OR EXPORTED FROM THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, EXCLUDING WATERPROOF FOOTWEAR SUBJECT TO THE FINDING MADE BY THE CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL IN INQUIRY NO. NQ-2000-004

PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF INJURY

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, under the provisions of subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act, has conducted a preliminary injury inquiry into whether the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping of leather footwear with metal toe caps, originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China, excluding waterproof footwear subject to the finding made by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal in Inquiry No. NQ-2000-004, has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry.

This preliminary injury inquiry is pursuant to the notification, on June 15, 2001, by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, that an investigation had been initiated into the alleged injurious dumping of the above-mentioned goods.Pursuant to subsection 37.1(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal hereby determines that the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping of the above-mentioned goods has caused injury to the domestic industry.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal finds that the question of whether there should be more than one class of goods merits further consideration. The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, therefore, requests the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency to collect information on the dumping of leather boots with metal toe caps, leather shoes with metal toe caps, and leather boots and leather shoes with metal toe caps combined.
