Preliminary Determination: Dumping Investigation in Respect of Lead Acid Batteries from Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan

Pursuant to section 12 (1) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, I, Philip Burdon, Minister of Commerce, hereby give notice that I have made a preliminary determination on the basis of the information made available during the investigation that there is reasonable cause to believe that lead acid automotive batteries for the passenger motor vehicle battery market and marine applications, sourced from Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan and imported or intended to be imported into New Zealand, are goods in respect of which I may direct the imposition of an anti-dumping duty in accordance with section 14 of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988.

Pursuant to section 12 (3) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, I hereby give notice of a provisional direction pursuant to section 16 (1) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, that payment in respect of the goods described above, of an anti-dumping duty at the rates shown in the Schedule, shall be secured by the Collector of Customs in accordance with Part IX of the Customs Act 1966 on those goods entered for home consumption on or after 10 September 1991.

Schedule

Dated at Wellington this 10th day of September 1991.

Termination of Dumping Investigation

Pursuant to section 11 (1) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, the Secretary of Commerce hereby gives notice of the termination of the dumping investigation in respect of a dumping complaint lodged by the New Zealand lead acid battery industry against imports of lead acid batteries from Thailand, as described in the Notice of Initiation of Dumping Investigation of 14 June 1991.

The Secretary is satisfied as a result of investigations carried out, that the goods from Thailand which were under investigation, being lead acid batteries imported from Anachai-Kobe Battery Co Limited (Thailand) and SCT Company Limited, are not goods in respect of which a determination may be made under the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 for the reason that these goods are no longer imported into New Zealand. There is therefore no evidence that material injury has been or is being caused or threatened as a result of the importation from Thailand of the goods subject to the investigation.
