Pursuant to section 14(9) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 (“Act”), anti-dumping duties imposed on peaches in preserving liquid from China, and standard plasterboard from Thailand will cease to apply to those goods on 17 July 2017 (“cessation date”), 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 of either of these duties before the cessation date should be aware that positive evidence justifying the need for a review must be provided to the chief executive.

Positive evidence justifying the need for a review would need to include reasons and evidence for believing that:

• the expiry of the anti-dumping duties would see the continuation or recurrence of dumping of the goods subject to the duties; and
• such dumping would likely cause the continuation or recurrence of material injury to the New Zealand industry producing goods like those subject to the duties.

Further information is available from the Acting Manager, Trade and Regulatory Cooperation, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, PO Box 3705, Wellington, or email: traderem@mbie.govt.nz.

Dated at Wellington this 21st day of March 2017.

SANJAY BHAWAN, Acting Manager, Science, Innovation and International.
