EXPIRY REVIEW INITIATION
Expiry Review No.: RR-2005-001
Garlic

On August 26, 2005, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act, initiated an expiry review 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 and Vietnam, excluding fresh garlic subject to the finding made in the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Inquiry No. NQ-96-002. The Tribunal also initiated an expiry review of 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 the People's Republic of China, imported into Canada from July 1 to December 31, inclusive, of each calendar year. As a result, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency initiated an investigation on August 29, 2005, to determine whether the expiry of the order and finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods.
