A final determination will be made in respect of the goods for which the investigation has not been terminated. In the final determination of dumping or subsidizing, the precise margin of dumping or amount of subsidy is specified for each exporter. All parties involved are notified of the decision in writing and notice is published in the Canada Gazette. The final results are provided to the Tribunal for consideration in its final inquiry into the matter of injury caused by the dumped or subsidized goods. The CBSA will issue reasons for its decision 15 days after the date of the final determination.

As in the case of the preliminary determination, CBSA officials provide interested parties with an opportunity for a disclosure meeting, at their request, to fully explain how the normal values and export prices or amounts of subsidy were finally calculated and the result of the CBSA's consideration of their representations following the preliminary determination. The meetings take place immediately after the final determination is issued. If a disclosure meeting reveals that changes in the calculations are warranted, the margin of dumping or amount of subsidy would be adjusted and the Tribunal advised immediately. It is in the interest of all parties that the dumping or subsidizing specified at the final determination be as accurate as possible as this information could be a critical element in the Tribunal's assessment of the injury question. All interested parties are therefore notified in writing of any adjustment to the margin of dumping or amount of subsidy.

The final determination of dumping or subsidizing and/or the termination of the investigation as described above, represents the conclusion of the investigation by the CBSA under the Act. Under certain conditions, parties may appeal the decision of the President to make a final determination or to terminate an investigation to the Federal Court, or, in the case of goods from a CUSMA country, parties may request a Binational Panel review of the decision under the terms of CUSMA.
