Notice of Initiation: Review of Anti-dumping Duty on Certain Bound Stationery From Malaysia

Pursuant to section 14(8) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, and acting under delegated authority from the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, I have initiated a review of the imposition of anti-dumping duty in respect of the goods described in the Schedule to this notice (“the goods”).

This initiation follows the receipt of an application made by the New Zealand industry providing positive evidence justifying the need for a review.

Anti-dumping duty was imposed on the goods as the result of an anti-dumping investigation in 2007.

The current rate of duty on the goods was published in the New Zealand Gazette, 20 September 2007, No. 102, page 2759.
