2 During the period of review Sinclar Enterprises Ltd. (Sinclar, one of the "review-specific" rate recipients) acted as an affiliated reseller for Lakeland, an affiliate of Canfor. In this review, the ITA reviewed the sales of Canfor and its affiliates; therefore, Canfor's weighted-average margin applies to all sales of subject merchandise produced by any member of the Canfor Group and sold by Sinclar. As Sinclar also separately requested a review, any sales of subject merchandise produced by another manufacturer and sold by Sinclar will receive the "Review- Specific'' rate. In addition, Canadian Forest Products, Ltd, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Canfor and will receive Canfor's weighted-average margin.
3The ITA notes that Produits Forestiers Temrex Limited Partnership is the same entity as the company Produits Forestiers Temrex Usine St. Alphonse, Inc. included in the initiation notice.
4Based on the final results of the changed circumstances review, Monterra shall receive Weyerhaeuser's weighted-average margin until December 23, 2002; thereafter, the company will be subject to the review-specific average rate. (See ITT's Online Archives or 09/24/03 news, 03092430, for BP summary of these final results.)
