CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

OPINION

Iodinated Contrast Media

In the matter of an opinion of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, under section 45 of the Special Import Measures Act, resulting from Inquiry No. NQ-99-003 conducted under section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act;

Respecting whether the imposition of anti-dumping duties, or the imposition of such duties in the full amount, on iodinated contrast media used for radiographic imaging, in solutions of osmolality less than 900 mOsm/kg H₂O, originating in or exported from the United States of America (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) would not or might not be in the public interest (Public Interest Investigation No. PB-2000-001).

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal herewith reports to the Minister of Finance under section 45 of the Special Import Measures Act that it is of the opinion that the imposition of the anti-dumping duties in the full amount, in respect of the goods originating in or exported from the United States of America (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico), is not in the public interest.

a) Searle Ltd. Exports to Nycomed Amersham Canada Ltd.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal recommends that the Minister of Finance reduce the anti-dumping duties on shipments of low osmolality contrast media from Searle Ltd. to Nycomed Amersham Canada Ltd. by the amount by which the per-millilitre anti-dumping duties payable determined by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency exceed the per-millilitre anti-dumping duties determined as follows:

(i) Establish new normal values by increasing, by 11.72 percent, Searle Ltd.'s final determination section 25 export prices per millilitre for the 1999 portion of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency's period of investigation. These new normal values would remain fixed for the duration of the finding.
(ii) Establish new section 25 export prices per millilitre by deducting from resale prices an amount to cover the costs of selling in, and importing into, Canada, plus a profit. The amount would be established in the following manner:

(iii) Anti-dumping duties are equal to the amount by which the new normal values exceed the new section 25 export prices.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal recommends that, if the domestic market resale price per millilitre for imports of low osmolality contrast media from Searle Ltd. is at a level that produces a new section 25 export price per millilitre that is less than the new normal value per millilitre, then there should be no duty reduction for the imports.

b) Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Exports to Bracco Diagnostics Canada Inc.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal recommends that the Minister of Finance reduce the anti-dumping duties on shipments of low osmolality contrast media from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company to Bracco Diagnostics Canada Inc. by the amount by which the per-millilitre anti-dumping duties determined by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency exceed the per-millilitre anti-dumping duties determined as follows:

(i) Establish new normal values by increasing, by 22.51 percent, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company's final determination section 25 export prices per millilitre for the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency's whole period of investigation. These new normal values would remain fixed for the duration of the finding.
(ii) Establish new section 25 export prices per millilitre by deducting from resale prices an amount to cover the costs of selling in, and importing into, Canada, plus a profit. The amount would be fixed for the duration of the finding and would be established in the following manner:

(iii) Anti-dumping duties are equal to the amount by which the new normal values exceed the new section 25 export prices.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal recommends that, if the domestic market resale price per millilitre for imports of low osmolality contrast media from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company is at a level that produces a new section 25 export price per millilitre that is less than the new normal value per millilitre, then there should be no duty reduction for the imports.

c) Other

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal recommends that the Minister of Finance reduce the anti-dumping duties on shipments of low osmolality contrast media to importers in Canada other than those identified in recommendations a) and b) above in a manner that has the same market price effects as the recommended duty reductions.
