Subject to section 14 (9) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 ("the Act"), anti-dumping duties imposed on G-clamps from the United Kingdom* will cease to apply to those goods on 19 December 2000 unless, at that date, the goods are subject to review under section 14 (8) of the Act.
Any interested party that 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 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 provide reasons for believing that the expiration of anti-dumping duties would see the continuation or recurrence of dumping of G-clamps from the United Kingdom, and for believing that such dumping would be likely to cause the continuation or recurrence of material injury to the New Zealand industry producing G-clamps.
The reasons should be supported by evidence and not based on mere allegations or assertions.
