Determination of New Zealand Producer as a Specified Importer

Notice is hereby given that the Secretary of Commerce, acting pursuant to section 3A (2) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, has determined that Cheviot Pacific Limited, a New Zealander producer of alloy wheels, which is also an importer of like goods, is a “specified importer”.

The brief reasons for this determination being made are that having regard to the nature and extent of the importations of the allegedly subsidised goods including the value, quantity, frequency and purpose of the importations, the Secretary is satisfied that Cheviot Pacific Limited should not be excluded from being treated as a New Zealand producer. Any investigation initiated under section 10 of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, will have to establish the effects of importations by Cheviot Pacific Limited on the alleged material injury and threat thereof.

Dated at Wellington this 14th day of December 1990.

A. H. McPHAIL, for Secretary of Commerce.
