1. Introduction
1. The Minister of Commerce decided on 8 October 2007 to impose anti-dumping duties on imports of diaries from China and Malaysia, effective on 1 February 2008. The duty is payable on and from 1 February 2008.
Description
2. The goods subject to anti-dumping duty are:
Diaries with or without covers excluding: diaries with steel ring binders; and wallplanners.
3. A diary with a steel ring binder such as those sometimes called a day-planner (or organiser) is excluded from the description of the goods. The steel rings open and shut and so the contents can be replaced with a refill and the cover can be used for a number of years. The cover is usually made of a durable material and can be expensive. A day-planner is normally bought as one item with the cover and the contents. Refills sold to fill a day-planner are not excluded from the description.
4. In addition, products called "Visual diaries" which have no dates and are likely to contain blank drawing paper, are not included in the above description of the goods for the purposes of this instruction.
5. The goods are currently classified under Tariff Items and Statistical Keys 4820.10.00.02J, 4820.90.09.01G and 4820.90.09.29G of the Tariff of New Zealand, which classification is provided for convenience and Customs' purposes only, the written description being dispositive.
6. There is no size requirement for the goods that fall under the above description.
Counties of Origin
7. The countries of origin of the subject goods are China and Malaysia.
