Anti-Dumping Duties: Notice That Anti-Dumping Duties on Lead Acid Batteries From the Philippines are to Cease to Apply Subject to section 14 (9) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 (the Act), anti-dumping duties imposed on lead acid batteries from the Philippines* cease to apply to those goods on 2 February 1997 unless, at that date, the goods are subject to review under section 14 (8) of the Act. Any interested party who might request the Secretary of Commerce to initiate a review before the termination date referred to above, should be aware that positive evidence justifying the need for a review must be provided to the Secretary. If an application is received which provides positive evidence justifying the need for a review, the Secretary must undertake a review investigation and report to the Minister of Commerce within 180 days on whether the anti-dumping duties should continue to be applied. Positive evidence justifying the need for a review would need to provide reasons for believing that the expiration of anti-dumping duties would see the recurrence of dumping of lead acid batteries from the Philippines and for believing that such dumping would cause material injury to the New Zealand industry producing lead acid batteries. The reasons should be supported by evidence and not based on mere allegations or assertions. Further information is available from the Manager, Trade Remedies Group, Ministry of Commerce, P.O. Box 1473, Wellington, or on facsimile number (04) 499 8508. * refer to notice ``Final Determination and Imposition of Anti-Dumping Duty: Lead Acid Batteries From the Philippines'' published in the New Zealand Gazette of 2 July 1992, at page 2319.
