Tariff and Development Board Notice No. 363—Inquiry
Concerning Protection for New Zealand Industry Producing
Hard Chromed Steel Bars—Public Hearing

1. Following receipt by the Minister of Customs of a
   report from the Emergency Protection Authority concern-
   ing temporary protection for the New Zealand hard chroming
   industry producing hard chromed steel bars, the Minister
   notified the Board, in a letter dated 24 May 1973, that
   while the Authority had recommended the imposition of
   a temporary additional duty of 25 percent ad valorem on
   imports of hard chromed steel bars of a diameter up to
   and including 3 inches, Government had decided that the
   protective duties should be extended to cover all diameters.
   In the New Zealand Gazette of 24 May 1973, with effect
   from 25 May 1973 a new Tariff item 73.10.201 was created
   for “Bars and rods, hard chromed” with rates of duty
   BP 25 percent, MFN 30 percent, GEN 50 percent.

2. In accordance with the provisions of the Tariff and
   Development Board Act the Minister of Customs has
   requested the Board to undertake an inquiry and report
   on what form of permanent protection, if any, it considers
   necessary to protect the New Zealand hard chroming industry
   against imports of hard chromed steel bars classified in
   Tariff item 73.10.201.

3. For the purposes of taking evidence the Board will hold
   a public hearing in the Hearing Room, Eighth Floor, Cumber-
   land House, Upper Willis Street, Wellington, on Tuesday,
   16 October 1973, commencing at 10.30 a.m.

4. Parties intending to make representations or requests
   about appropriate rates of customs duty are asked to take
   into account the statements of 7 May 1973 by the Minister
   of Overseas Trade about the phasing out of British preferences
   from the New Zealand Tariff, and by the Minister of Trade
   and Industry about the interim New Zealand - Australia
   Trade Agreement 1973. Copies of these statements can be
   obtained from the undersigned. In a letter dated 6 April
   1973 the Minister of Trade and Industry indicated that, while
   Government had asked the Board to consider the question
   of a single tariff rate, for trade policy reasons the Board’s
   recommendations on this aspect would not necessarily be made
   public for the time being.

5. Any person who intends to tender evidence should lodge,
   in typewritten form, 14 copies of public evidence and
   12 copies of confidential evidence, to be presented under
   oath at the public hearing, at the Board’s office no later
   than Tuesday, 25 September 1973. In preparing this evidence
   the “Notes for Information and Guidance of Interested
   Parties” prepared by the Board may be of assistance. Copies
   of these notes may be obtained from the Board’s office.

   with an allocation of 50 percent of the value of imports of
   these goods in the 1971–72 licensing period. The Authority
   also recommended that this temporary restriction effective

   had been examined and reported upon by the Tariff and
   Development Board.

2. In accordance with the provisions of the Tariff and
