The ITA has preliminarily determined that the post-merger Canfor is the successor-in-interest to both the pre-merger Canfor and Slocan. The ITA has also preliminarily concluded that post-merger Canfor should be assigned an AD cash deposit rate reflecting a weighted-average of Canfor's and Slocan's respective AD cash deposit rates prior to the merger.
The ITA states that because Canfor and Slocan are both respondents in the ongoing first administrative review covering the period May 22, 2002 through April 30, 2003, the ITA plans to align the final results of this changed circumstances review with the final results of the first administrative review for the purposes of establishing the final cash deposit rate for the post-merger Canfor.
(The ITA adds that the final results of the first administrative review are due on December 13, 2004. The ITA also notes that interested parties may submit comments on these preliminary results.)
