Partial Termination of Anti-dumping Duty: Wire Nails From the People’s Republic of China

Pursuant to section 14(7) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 ("the Act"), I hereby give notice that I have, with effect from the date of this notice, terminated the anti-dumping duty on the types of wire nails from the People’s Republic of China described in the First Schedule to this notice.

The termination of this anti-dumping duty follows a review carried out by the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Economic Development, pursuant to section 14(8) of the Act, to examine whether the anti-dumping duty should continue to apply to certain types of wire nails.

Notice of the initiation of this review was published in the New Zealand Gazette, 12 April 2012, No. 41, page 1226.

Wire nails from the People’s Republic of China have been subject to anti-dumping duty imposed by the Minister of Commerce since 3 June 2011. The description of these goods is shown in the Second Schedule to this notice.

The effect of my decision to terminate the anti-dumping duty on the nails described in the First Schedule will be to add those nails to the list of nails excluded from the duty.
