Pursuant to section 8 of SIMA, provisional duty is payable on the dumped waterproof footwear and waterproof footwear in nearly finished form, constructed wholly or in part of rubber and/or thermoplastic rubber (TPR), originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, and waterproof footwear and waterproof footwear in nearly finished form, constructed wholly or in part of rubber, thermoplastic rubber (TPR) and/or plastic, originating in or exported from Vietnam, that are released from the CBSA during the period commencing May 28, 2009, and ending on the earlier of the day the investigation is terminated, the day on which the Tribunal makes an order or finding, or the day an undertaking is accepted. The amount of provisional duty payable is not greater than the estimated margin of dumping. The Customs Act applies with respect to the accounting and payment of provisional duty. As such, failure to pay duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Customs Act.

DETERMINATION
Professional, administrative and management support services
Notice is hereby given that, on June 4, 2009, further to a decision of the Federal Court of Appeal dated January 23, 2009, concerning a determination (File Nos. PR-2007-010R and PR-2007-012R) made by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on September 5, 2007, which referred the matter back to the Tribunal with directions, the Tribunal made a redetermination. This re-determination related to a complaint filed by Bureau d’études stratégiques et techniques en économique (B.E.S.T.E.), of Québec, Quebec, under subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. SEL-2007-A-032436-1) by the Canadian International Development Agency. The solicitation was for consulting services in support of the Maghreb Program (Morocco).
Considering the reasons supporting the Federal Court of Appeal’s decision, the Tribunal determined that there were no grounds to recommend a new remedy for B.E.S.T.E.
