Notice pursuant to subsections 10(3B) and 10(3D) of the Customs Tariff (Anti‑Dumping) Act 1975
I, KAREN ANDREWS, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry and Science, having decided to issue a notice pursuant to subsection 269TJ(1) and subsection 269TJ(2) of the Customs Act 1901 (the Act) in respect of silicon metal described in that notice (the goods), DIRECT, pursuant to subsection 10(3B)(a) of the Customs Tariff (Anti‑Dumping) Act 1975 (the Dumping Duty Act), that the interim countervailing duty referred to in subsection 10(3A) of that Act in respect of silicon metal exported from the People’s Republic of China to Australia be ascertained as a proportion of the export price of those particular goods.
Pursuant to subsection 10(3DA) of the Dumping Duty Act, I have not had regard to the desirability of fixing a lesser rate of interim countervailing duty under subsection 10(3D) of the Dumping Duty Act because I am satisfied that in relation to the goods the subject of the notice under subsections 269TJ(1) and 269TJ(2) of the Act:
(i) the country in relation to which the countervailable subsidy has been provided has not complied with Article 25 of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures for the compliance period (subsection 10(3DA)(a) of the Dumping Duty Act); and
(ii) the normal value of the goods was not ascertained under subsection 269TAC(1) of the Act because of the operation of subsection 269TAC(2)(a)(ii) of the Act (subsection 10(3DA)(c) of the Dumping Duty Act).
This notice applies to the goods and like goods entered for home consumption on and after the date of publication of this notice.
Dated this 28th day of May 2015
