COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA
Ministerial Exemption Instrument No. 1 of 2015
Customs Tariff (Anti-Dumping) Act 1975
I, KAREN LESLEY ANDREWS, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry and Science, have considered and accepted the recommendations of the Commissioner of the Anti-Dumping Commission, the reasons for the recommendations, the material findings of fact on which the recommendations are based and the evidence relied on to support those findings in Anti‑Dumping Commission Report EX0022: Exemption from dumping duties on hot rolled plate steel exported to Australia from the People’s Republic of China (China), the Republic of Korea (Korea), Japan and Indonesia, and countervailing duties on hot rolled plate steel exported to Australia from China.
Under paragraphs 8(7)(b) and 10(8)(aa) of the Customs Tariff (Anti-Dumping) Act 1975, I hereby exempt the goods described in Attachment 1 (the Goods) from:
- interim dumping duty and dumping duty, and
- interim countervailing duty and countervailing duty,
as I am satisfied that a Tariff Concession Order under Part XVA of the Customs Act 1901 in respect of the goods is in force.
The anti-dumping measures previously applying to these goods were imposed following the then Minister for Industry’s consideration of Anti‑Dumping Commission Final Report No. 198 concerning the alleged dumping of hot rolled plate steel exported from China, Indonesia, Japan and Korea, and alleged subsidisation of hot rolled plate steel exported from China.
This instrument commences on the 23rd day of July 2014. The instrument is subject to review and may be revoked.
Dated this 19th day of August 2015
KAREN LESLEY ANDREWS
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry and Science
