Summary:
On April 6, 2005, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) made a finaldetermination that imports of live Canadian hogs are not materially injuring the U.S. hogindustry. The ITC's negative determination culminates investigations requested inMarch 2004 by U.S. pork producers under U.S. antidumping (AD) and countervailingduty (CVD) laws, and means that no import duty order will be imposed. The ITC'sdecision came despite an earlier U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) finaldetermination that producers/exporters have sold live swine from Canada at less thanfair value. DOC also earlier announced its final CVD determination that countervailablesubsidies are not being provided to Canadian producer/exporters, ending the CVDinvestigation.
