EXPIRY REVIEW DECISION

Expiry Review No.: RR-2002-001

Certain Bicycles and Frames

On April 2, 2002, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal) initiated an expiry review of its order concerning certain bicycles and frames originating in or exported from Chinese Taipei (formerly designated as Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China.

As a result, the Commissioner of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (Commissioner) commenced an investigation on April 3, 2002, to determine whether the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods.

The investigation has now been completed and today, pursuant to subsection 76.03(7) of SIMA, the Commissioner has determined that the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods.

A Statement of Reasons that contains additional details concerning the determination made by the Commissioner will be issued within fifteen days. The Statement of Reasons will be posted on the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency's Web site at:  www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/customs/business/sima/expiry-e.html.

The Tribunal will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the continued or resumed dumping is likely to result in injury or retardation to the Canadian industry and will make an order by December 9, 2002.
