Under section 14(9) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 ("the Act"), anti-dumping duties imposed on galvanised wire from South Africa will cease to apply to those goods on 18 August 2013, unless at that date the goods are subject to review under section 14(8) of the Act.
Any interested party that might request that the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment initiate a review before the cessation date referred to above, should be aware that positive evidence justifying the need for a review must be provided to the chief executive.
If an application is received which provides positive evidence justifying the need for a review, the chief executive must undertake and complete a review investigation within 180 days of initiation on whether the anti-dumping duties should continue to be applied.
Positive evidence justifying the need for a review would need to include reasons for believing that the expiration of
anti-dumping duties would see the continuation or recurrence of dumping of galvanised wire from South Africa, and
for believing that such dumping would be likely to cause
the continuation or recurrence of material injury to the
New Zealand industry producing galvanised wire.
The reasons should be supported by evidence and not be based on mere allegations or assertions.
