The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment gives notice that, in terms of section 14(9) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, anti-dumping duties on wire nails from China ceased to be payable with effect from 2 June 2016.

These duties were suspended, for three years, with effect from 1 June 2014, therefore, no anti-dumping duty was being collected during the suspension period.

The anti-dumping duties elapsed permanently on 2 June 2016 because at that date the goods were not subject to review and five years had passed since the date of the notice of the assessment of the duty following a determination carried out under section 14 of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 (published in the New Zealand Gazette, 9 June 2011, No. 81, page 1905).

Dated at Wellington this 2nd day of June 2016.

ROSIE BYFORD, Manager, Trade and Regulatory Cooperation, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
