Information supplied by the applicant and modified appropriately using information gained during the enquiry. 
Information supplied by the exporter both in submission and during overseas enquiry modified appropriately. 
Treatment having regard to Article 13 of the Agreement and the Decisions of the Committee, document ADP/2 (also in column 3, where applicable). 
Bracketed figures in columns 4, S & 6 indicate margins of dumping found and do not indicate amounts of dumping duty payable. 
Not applicable due to the nature of the enquiry e.g. review of particular aspect such as non-injurious free-on-board prices. 
A case formerly notified as a negative preliminary finding but re-activated as the result of a successful appeal to the Anti-Dumping Authority (see Note 3 below). 
The revisiting of an enquiry, in whole or in part, as a result of court action. 
Details of an enquiry inadvertently omitted from a previous return. 
A review of an existing measure to ascertain whether the levels of that measure need adjusting. 
A review of an existing measure to determine whether it should remain in place or be revoked. 
A review of an existing measure approaching its expiry date under "sunset" provisions to determine whether grounds exist for the continuation of the measure for a further five years. Should the enquiry conclude that 
measures should not be continued beyond the original five years, the measure will, however, remain in place until the expiration date irrespective of the date on which enquiries were concluded. 
Positive preliminary finding made but no provisional measure imposed pending a final finding 
All known exporters contacted and invited to provide a submission. All submissions received are investigated. 
Threat of material injury 
Less than $M 0.1. 
Not available 
Information not provided for reasons of confidentiality. 
% or amount per unit if appropriate 
Figures provided in column 12 at time of preliminary finding may be subject to change at final finding. 
Where a figure to be included in columns 11 and 12 was of a confidential nature, a range within which that figure falls has been provided. 
Under Australian legislation, the applicant may, within 30 days of being notified, appeal a negtive preliminary finding to the Anti-Dumping Authority (ADA) for review. The ADA must complete this review within 60 
days of commencing its enquiries and taking into consideration only that information which was available to Australian Customs Service (Customs) at the time of its finding. If, on review, the ADA replaces the Customs' 
negative preliminary finding with a positive finding, this will be reflected by that enquiry's being reinstated on the next return, the preliminary finding date shown being that of the ADA'S finding. 5£
