(2) Where the Secretary is satisfied that the normal value of goods imported or intended to be imported into New Zealand cannot be determined under subsection (1) because— (a) there is an absence of sales that would be relevant for the purpose of determining a price under that subsection; or the situation in the relevant market is such that sales in that market that would otherwise be relevant for the (b) 10 Reprinted as at 20 May 2014 Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 s 5 (c) purpose of determining a price under subsection (1) are not suitable for use in determining such a price; or like goods are not sold in the ordinary course of trade for home consumption in the country of export in sales that are arm’s length transactions by the exporter and it is not practicable to obtain within a reasonable time information in relation to sales by other sellers of like goods that would be relevant for the purpose of deter- mining a price under subsection (1),— the Secretary may determine that the normal value, for the purposes of this Act, shall be either— (d) the sum of— (i) (ii) such amount as is determined by the Secretary to be the cost of production or manufacture of the goods in the country of export; and on the assumption that the goods, instead of being exported, had been sold for home consumption in the ordinary course of trade in the country of export,— (A) such amounts as the Secretary determines would be reasonable amounts for adminis- trative and selling costs, delivery charges, and other charges incurred in the sale; and an amount calculated in accordance with such rate as the Secretary determines would be the rate of profit on that sale having regard to the rate of profit normally realised on sales of goods (where such sales exist) of the same general category in the domestic market of the country of export of the goods; or (B) (e) the price that is representative of the price paid for sim- ilar quantities of like goods sold at arm’s length in the ordinary course of trade in the country of export for ex- port to a third country.

(c) (4) Where the normal value of goods exported to New Zealand is to be ascertained in accordance with subsection (2), the Sec- retary shall make such adjustments as are necessary to ensure that the normal value so ascertained is properly comparable with the export price of those goods.
(5) Where— (a) (b) the actual country of export of goods imported or in- tended to be imported into New Zealand is not the coun- try of origin of the goods; and the Secretary is of the opinion that the normal value of the goods should be ascertained for the purposes of this Act as if the country of origin were the country of export,— the Secretary may direct that the normal value of the goods shall be so ascertained.
(6) Where the Secretary is satisfied, in relation to goods imported or intended to be imported into New Zealand, that— (a) the price paid for like goods— (i) (ii) sold for home consumption in the country of ex- port in sales that are arm’s length transactions; or sold in the country of export to a third country in sales that are arm’s length transactions,— is, and has been for an extended period of time and in respect of a substantial quantity of like goods, less than the sum of— (iii) such amount as the Secretary determines to be the cost of production or manufacture of the like goods in the country of export; and such amounts as the Secretary determines to be reasonable amounts for administrative and sell- (iv) 12 Reprinted as at 20 May 2014 Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 s 7 ing costs, delivery charges, and other charges necessarily incurred in the sale of the like goods by the seller of the goods; and (b) it is likely that the seller of those like goods will not be able to fully recover the amounts referred to in subpara- graphs (iii) and (iv) of paragraph (a) within a reasonable period of time,— the price so paid for those like goods shall be deemed not to have been paid in the ordinary course of trade.

(4) Where the Secretary initiates an investigation, pursuant to sub- section (1), in respect of the existence and effect of any alleged dumping or subsidisation of goods, notice of the initiation of the investigation shall be given.

(5) Upon the initiation of an investigation by the Secretary pur- suant to subsection (1) and thereafter during the course of the investigation, evidence of the dumping or subsidisation and of the material injury to an industry shall be considered simultan- eously.
The Secretary, after initiating an investigation pursuant to sub- section (1), shall ensure that all interested parties to the inves- tigation are given reasonable opportunity— (a) (6) to present in writing all evidence relevant to the inves- tigation, and, upon justification being shown, to present such evidence orally: unless the information may be withheld under the Official Information Act 1982, to have access to all non-confidential information relevant to the presenta- tion of their case and that is used by the Secretary in the investigation, and to prepare representations on the basis of that information: on request being made, to meet those parties with ad- verse interests in order to present opposing views.
(b) (c) (7) Where a party has submitted information to the Secretary, and has shown good cause for the Secretary to believe— (a) that the information would be of significant competitive advantage to a competitor of, or the disclosure of the 19 s 10 Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 Reprinted as at 20 May 2014 information would otherwise have a significant adverse effect upon,— (i) (ii) the party who submitted the information; or the party from whom the information was ac- quired by the party who submitted the informa- tion; or any party to whom the information relates; or (iii) that the information otherwise should be treated as con- fidential,— (b) the Secretary shall not disclose the information without the express permission of any such party that would be adversely affected by its release.
The Secretary may request parties who have provided confi- dential information to furnish— (a) (b) a non-confidential summary of the information; or if it is claimed that the information is not susceptible of such summary, a statement of the reasons why such summary is not possible,— and the Secretary may disregard any information for which the party submitting it fails to provide either a satisfactory sum- mary or satisfactory reason why such summary cannot be pro- vided.
Before initiating an investigation under subsection (1), the Secretary shall— (a) notify the Government or Governments of the country or countries of export of the goods that are the subject of the proposed investigation; and in the case of an application for the investigation into the subsidisation of any goods, give that Government or those Governments a reasonable opportunity for con- sultations with the aim of clarifying the situation and ar- riving at a mutually agreed solution.
(b) (8) (9) (10) Nothing in this section shall authorise the Secretary to initiate an investigation in relation to any alleged dumping of goods of Australian origin.

Section 10A: inserted, on 1 January 1995, by section 11 of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Amendment Act 1994 (1994 No 131).
Termination of investigations 11 (1) Where the Minister, at any time before making a final deter- mination under section 13, is satisfied in respect of some or all of the goods under investigation, that— (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) there is insufficient evidence of dumping or subsidisa- tion to justify proceeding with the investigation; or there is insufficient evidence that material injury to a New Zealand industry has been or is being caused or is threatened or the establishment of a New Zealand in- dustry has been or is being materially retarded by means of the dumping or subsidisation of the goods; or in the case of subsidisation, the imposition of a counter- vailing duty in respect of those goods would be incon- sistent with New Zealand’s obligations as a party to the WTO Agreement; or the application for the investigation has been withdrawn in writing by those New Zealand producers by or on whose behalf the application was made; or New Zealand producers who previously expressed sup- port for the application for the investigation have with- drawn that support in writing to such an extent that, by reason of section 10(3), the investigation could not have been initiated,— the Minister shall— (f) terminate the investigation with respect to those goods; and give notice of such termination.
(g) 21 s 11 (2) Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 Reprinted as at 20 May 2014 For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), evidence of dumping or subsidisation shall be insufficient where,— (a) in the case of dumping, the margin of dumping is,— (i) in the case of goods of Singaporean origin, less than 5% (expressed as a percentage of the export price); or in the case of goods of any other origin, less than 2% (expressed as a percentage of the export price); or (ii) (c) (b) in the case of subsidisation, the amount of the subsidy is less than 1% of the value of the goods at the time of import; or in the case of either dumping or subsidisation, the vol- ume of imports of dumped or subsidised goods, ex- pressed as a percentage of total imports of like goods into New Zealand, is negligible, having regard to New Zealand’s obligations as a party to the WTO Agreement.
(2A) For the purposes of subsection (2)(c), in applying Article 5.8 of the Agreement on the Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, annexed to the WTO Agreement, in relation to goods of Singaporean ori- gin,— (a) the first reference in Article 5.8 to “3 per cent” must be read as a reference to “5 per cent”; and accordingly, if the volume of goods of Singaporean ori- gin dumped is found to account for less than 5% of the total imports of like goods into New Zealand, the vol- ume of goods dumped must normally be regarded as negligible.
(b) (3) Where— (a) (b) 22 any investigation is terminated under subsection (1), and it is subsequently ascertained that information sup- plied affecting the investigation was incorrect or did not disclose material facts, and that the information is of such nature as materially to affect the decision to ter- minate the investigation; or any investigation is terminated pursuant to an undertak- ing given by the Government of the country of export or by an exporter, as the case may be, under section Reprinted as at 20 May 2014 Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 s 14 15(1) and that Government or that exporter violates that undertaking,— the Secretary may initiate a further investigation and all the provisions of this Act shall have effect accordingly.
(4) Notice shall be given of the initiation of every further investi- gation under subsection (3).

Final determination Subject to section 11, within 180 days after the initiation of an investigation under section 10 (but not less than 30 days after the provision of information in accordance with section 10A), the Minister shall make a final determination as to whether or not, in relation to the importation or intended importation of goods into New Zealand,— (a) (b) the goods are being dumped or subsidised; and by reason thereof material injury to an industry has been or is being caused or is threatened or the establishment of an industry has been or is being materially retarded.

Anti-dumping and countervailing duties 14 (1) At any time after the Minister makes a final determination under section 13(1) in relation to goods, the Minister may give notice of the rate or amount of duty determined under subsec- tion (4) of this section (which notice may be given simultan- eously with, or at any time after, the notice given under section 23 s 14 Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 Reprinted as at 20 May 2014 13(2)) and there shall, with effect on and from the applicable date referred to in section 17, 17A, or 17B, be imposed,— (a) in respect of those goods that are dumped, a duty to be known as anti-dumping duty: in respect of those goods that are subsidised, a duty to be known as countervailing duty.
(b) (2) Anti-dumping duty or countervailing duty, as the case may be, imposed under subsection (1), shall be collected and paid on the demand of the Customs on and from the day after the date on which the notice under subsection (1) is published in the Gazette.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1)(b), no countervailing duty may be imposed under this section if to do so would be inconsistent with New Zealand’s obligations as a party to the WTO Agreement.
The anti-dumping duty or countervailing duty in the case of goods to which this section applies shall be a rate or amount determined by the Minister,— (a) (4) in the case of dumped goods, not exceeding the differ- ence between the export price of the goods and their normal value; and in the case of subsidised goods, not exceeding the amount of the subsidy on the goods.
(b) In exercising the discretion under subsection (4), the Minis- ter shall have regard to the desirability of ensuring that the amount of anti-dumping or countervailing duty in respect of those goods is not greater than is necessary to prevent the ma- terial injury or a recurrence of the material injury or to remove the threat of material injury to an industry or the material re- tardation to the establishment of an industry, as the case may require.
The Secretary may initiate a reassessment of any rate or amount of anti-dumping or countervailing duty determined under subsection (4), including any elements of any formula used to establish such a rate or amount,— (a) on the initiative of the Secretary; or (b) where a request for a reassessment is submitted to the Secretary by an interested party who submits evidence justifying the need for a reassessment; or (5) (6) 24 Reprinted as at 20 May 2014 Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 s 14 (7) (8) (c) following the completion of a review carried out under subsection (8)— and the Minister may determine a new rate or amount in ac- cordance with subsection (4), and, in that event, shall give no- tice of the new rate or amount.
The Minister may, by notice, terminate, in whole or in part, the imposition of any anti-dumping or countervailing duty im- posed under this section, with effect from the date specified in the notice, which date may be prior to the date of the notice.
The Secretary may, on his or her own initiative, and shall, where requested to do so by an interested party that submits positive evidence justifying the need for a review, initiate a review of the imposition of anti-dumping duty or countervail- ing duty in relation to goods and shall complete that review within 180 days of its initiation.
(9) Anti-dumping duty or countervailing duty applying to any goods shall cease to be payable on those goods from the date that is the specified period after— (a) the date of the final determination made under section 13 in relation to those goods; or the date of notice of any reassessment of duty given under subsection (6), following a review carried out under subsection (8),— (b) (9A) whichever is the later, unless, at that date, the goods are subject to review under subsection (8).
In subsection (9), specified period means,— (a) (b) in the case of goods of Singaporean origin, 3 years; and in the case of goods of any other origin, 5 years.
(10) Without limiting the ability of the Minister to require refunds in other circumstances, where a reassessment under subsec- tion (6) results in a lower duty being imposed on any goods, the Minister may require the Customs to refund, with effect from the date of initiation of the reassessment (or, in the case of a reassessment carried out under paragraph (c) of that sub- section, from the date of initiation of the review referred to in that paragraph), the difference between the duty paid and the lower duty.
