Description of Goods

Household fully automatic washing machines with a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10kg, the capacity determined by standard AS/NZS2040.

Country of Origin

Korea

History of Determination

* Date on which anti-dumping duties will cease to apply unless a review has been initiated prior to the date specified.

Anti-Dumping Duty

Anti-dumping duty is collected by way of Non-injurious-free-on-board (NIFOB) amounts which have been set for the suppliers LG, Samsung and Daewoo in the 5 categories.

For suppliers other than LG, Samsung and Daewoo, an ad valorem percentage of the declared value for duty of the subject goods is calculated.

The amount of anti-dumping duty payable is the amount by which the NIFOB amount exceeds the New Zealand Value For Duty of the goods entered for home consumption.

To establish the correct NIFOB and ad valorem amount to be used for an importation, two items of information are required:

1. The name of the Korean supplier.
2. The washing machine capacity in kilograms.

NIFOB amounts in $NZ and ad valorem percentages can now be read off the following table:

Notes

General

The goods are currently classified under Tariff Item 8450.11.01 and Statistical Keys 02H, 05B, 07J and 11G of the Tariff of New Zealand, which classification is provided for convenience and Customs purposes only, the written description being dispositive.

Coverage

The description of the goods subject to duty includes both top and front loading washing machines.

Some Korean producers manufacture washing machines for other whiteware manufacturers so the brand name of the washing machine will not necessarily indicate who the producer is. For example, LG Electronics manufactures washing machines sold under the brand of "Westinghouse". The name of the producer on the invoice would normally be definitive in establishing the identity of the producer for duty purposes.

For the purpose of calculating any duty payable, currencies should be converted using the relevant exchange rate at the date of the importation.
