* Anti-dumping duties on plasterboard from Thailand , wire nails from China, and reinforcing steel bar 
from Thailand have been suspended, for three years, with effect from 1 June 2014. The suspension of these 
anti-dumping duties (on imports of building materials) is a short-term measure to remove a barrier to competition and productivity in the construction sector , presented by anti-dumping duties, particularly to 
support the post-2011 Christchurch earthquake rebuild and to support increased residential construction needed in Auckland.
