Summary of Reasons for Initiation
This review will assess whether there is a need to continue anti-dumping measures to prevent the recurrence or continuation of dumping which would result in material injury to the New Zealand industry. The review was initiated on the submission of a duly substantiated application made by the New Zealand industry, Winstone Wallboards Limited, that provided positive evidence justifying the need for a review.
Notes
Anti-dumping duty was imposed on the goods following two separate determinations made on 27 September 2000 and 19 November 2000. The current rate of duty on the goods results from a reassessment of the duty on 4 December 2002.
