Notis Pemulaan Kajian Semula Pentadbiran Duti Anti-Lambakan Mengenai Import Polyethylene Terephthalate yang Berasal atau Dieksport Dari Thailand

Permintaan bagi kajian semula pentadbiran itu adalah berdasarkan alasan bahawa penamatan duti anti-lambakan berkemungkinan menyebabkan lambakan dan kemudaratan itu berterusan atau berulang terhadap industri

Malaysia.

Pemohon mengemukakan bahawa sekiranya duti anti-lambakan ditamatkan, tahap pengimportan semasa dagangan subjek mungkin akan meningkat.

Pemohon mengatakan bahawa pembatalan duti anti-lambakan itu akan memberi kesan negatif terhadap industri Malaysia dan berkemungkinan menyebabkan kemudaratan itu berterusan atau berulang terhadap industri

Malaysia.

Kerajaan Malaysia berpuas hati bahawa permintaan itu mengandungi alasan yang mencukupi untuk memulakan suatu kajian semula pentadbiran. Dalam membuat keputusan ini, Kerajaan Malaysia juga telah meneliti harga dagangan subjek di pasaran dalam negeri di Malaysia berhubung dengan kemungkinan lambakan yang berterusan atau berulang.

FOLLOWING the publication of the Notice of Impending Termination of the

Imposition of Anti-Dumping Duties on Imports of Polyethylene Terephthalate

Originating or Exported from the Kingdom of Thailand in P.U. (B) 408/2015

on 20 October 2015, the Government of Malaysia has received a request for an administrative review on the imposition of an anti-dumping duty on the imports of polyethylene terephthalate of intrinsic viscosity of more than 0.70 dL/g originating or exported from the Kingdom of Thailand (“subject merchandise”) and pursuant to subsection 28(6)

Request for administrative review

The request for the administrative review is based on the grounds that the termination of the anti-dumping duties would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the Malaysian industry.

The applicant presented that if the anti-dumping duties are terminated, the current import level of the subject merchandise is likely to increase.

The applicant alleged that the removal of the anti-dumping duties will give a negative impact to the Malaysian industry and would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of injury to the Malaysian industry.

The Government of Malaysia is satisfied that the request carries sufficient grounds to initiate an administrative review. In coming to this decision, the

Government of Malaysia has also examined the prices of the subject merchandise in the domestic market in Malaysia in relation to the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of dumping.

Procedure 5.

Having determined that there is sufficient evidence exists to warrant an administrative review of the anti-dumping duties with regard to the imports of

P.U. (B) 161 9

The administrative review will also examine the need for the continuation or termination of the existing anti-dumping duties.
