Polypropylene Rope From Korea

Notice is hereby given that, acting pursuant to section 11 of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”), I have terminated a dumping investigation in respect of polypropylene rope from Korea (hereinafter referred to as “the subject goods”, as described in the Notice of Initiation of Dumping Investigation of 11 November 1996 (New Zealand Gazette, 14 November 1996, page 4366), and imported or intended to be imported into New Zealand.
