Many of you would be aware of the developments with the
investigation regarding the proposed imposition of dumping and
countervailing duties on Aluminium Road Wheels
("ARW") exported from the PRC
Most recently this included the issue by Customs of a Statement
of Essential Facts ("SEF") for comment
which included the proposed recommendations by Customs that such
measures should be imposed. Interested parties were invited to make
further submissions on the SEF and the proposed recommendations.
Following those submissions, a report to the Minister from Customs
was due to be made by 12 June 2012 including recommended measures
for consideration by the Minister. The Minister would then be in a
position to accept (likely) or reject (unlikely) the proposed
measures as set out in the report and impose such measures.
