Tariff and Development Board Notice No. 366—Inquiry Concerning Tariff Protection for New Zealand Industry Producing Plastic Baths, and Baths of Iron or Steel and Parts Thereof—Public Hearing

1. The Minister of Customs has asked the Board to undertake an inquiry into the goods listed below with the objective of providing Government with a basis for restructuring and updating the Tariff to establish, where possible, adequate rates of duty protection on the goods involved but with particular regard to the rates of duty to be applied to bath castings and bath pressings.

Tariff Item Goods
Ex 39.07.399 Plastic baths
73.38.001 Baths and parts thereof, of iron or steel

This reference arises initially from a request to the Minister to reduce one of the rates of duty under the reference 10.8 Part II Concession for cast iron bath castings of Tariff item 73.38.001.

2. For the purposes of taking evidence the Board will hold a public hearing in the Hearing Room, Eighth Floor, Cumberland House, Upper Willis Street, Wellington, on Tuesday, 18 September 1973, commencing at 10.30 a.m.

3. 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.

4. 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, 28 August 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.

Dated at Wellington this 19th day of June 1973.
