5 Decree No. 991 of 1998, regulating the application of anti-dumping duties, establishes that, in the case of countries with whi ch Colombia has not made trade commitments relating to the
application of anti-dumping duties, INCOMEX may impose provisional duties even in the decision to initiate the investigation.  As a result, an ex officio  investigation was initiated and an anti-
dumping duty imposed on imports originating in Chinese Taipei in the form of a 51.49 per cent tariff surcharge, which may not e xceed the established absolute dumping margin of US$657.55 per
tonne.
6 The preliminary stage established a dumping margin of 45.54 per cent and the initial anti-dumping duty imposed on Chinese Taipe i was modified to a provisional duty in the form of a
26.46 per cent tariff surcharge, which may not exceed the established absolute dumping margin of US$605.31 per tonne.
7 The requirement relating to provisional anti-dumping duties establis hed in Articles 7 and 1 of Resolutions Nos. 1745 and 2077 o f 2001, respectively, was abolished.
