Goods Description
Can sizes and Product Styles
The goods covered by the description given above are "Canned peaches (halves, slices and pieces) packed in various concentrations of sugar syrup and in can sizes ranging from 110 grams to 3 kilograms (A10)". Can sizes for these goods are nominal and are based on normal industry usage.
The table given below shows the nominal size and the industry descriptions of the common can sizes falling within the description of goods. This list is not exhaustive and peaches may be imported in can sizes other than those listed.
The following points should be noted:
- Cans with a nominal net weight outside of the range specified in the above goods description, i.e. cans of a size greater than A10 (nominal size 3 kilograms) are excluded from the determination. These goods are therefore not subject to anti-dumping duty.
- A10 size cans may be shown with a nominal weight of up to 3060gms. These cans are included in the determination and anti-dumping duty should be collected where applicable on the basis of the nominal weight, for example 3000gms for 3060gm cans.
- Canned peach styles other than halves, slices and pieces are excluded from the determination and are not subject to anti-dumping duties. Other styles may include peach pulp.
- "Sugar syrup" includes fruit juice.
- Peaches packed other than in cans are not covered by the determination and are not subject to anti-dumping duties. These may include for example, frozen peaches in solid pack cartons and peaches packed in plastic pottles.
Industry Descriptions
Canned peaches of the kind subject to anti-dumping duties may be invoiced according to either net weight or standard can sizes, e.g. 410gm or N1M. Nominal industry standard weight equivalents are shown below.
| Nominal Weight/Contents |
Standard Can Description |
| 410 gm |
N1M |
| 825 gm |
A2.5 or A22 |
| 3 kg |
A10 |
Invoiced Currency
As noted above, in normal circumstances the goods subject to the anti-dumping duties covered by these instructions are invoiced in USD. Therefore the USD invoice should be converted to NZD using the NZCS exchange rate applicable on the date of importation for the purposes of calculating anti-dumping duty. Invoices in other currencies should also be converted to NZD accordingly.
