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 Business, Innovation and Employment, 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 rates of duty are the result of a reassessment published in the New Zealand Gazette, 21 February 2008, No. 31, page 709, and a reassessment limited to "choice" grade peaches published in the New Zealand Gazette,
18 February 2010, No. 18, page 429.
Schedule
Goods Subject to Review
Country of Origin
