Pursuant to section 14(8) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, and acting under delegated authority
from the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Economic Development, I have initiated a review of the imposition of anti-dumping duty in respect of the goods described in the Schedule to this notice ("the goods").
This initiation follows the receipt of an application made
by the New Zealand industry providing positive evidence justifying the need for a review.
Anti-dumping duty was imposed on the goods following
a determination made on 1 August 1996.
The current rate of duty on the goods results from a reassessment of the duty on 11 June 2002, and published
in the New Zealand Gazette, 4 July 2002, No. 76, page 2020.
