Undertakings are commitments made by exporters, or the foreign government in subsidy cases, to adhere to certain conditions which serve to eliminate the harm to Canadian producers caused by dumping or subsidizing.

Following the making of a preliminary determination and except where the investigation is suspended due to the acceptance of an undertaking, the legislation requires that the CBSA, within a further 90 days, make a final decision regarding the dumping or subsidizing.

A final determination will be made in respect of the goods for which the investigation has not been terminated.

Within 120 days of receiving a notice of a preliminary determination, the Tribunal must complete its final inquiry

Re-investigations to update normal values, export prices or amounts of subsidy and to establish values for new exporters or new models are conducted periodically, generally on an annual basis.

SIMA provides that an expiry review will be automatically initiated by the Tribunal before the expiry of five years after the date of the order or finding.
