Malaysia, pengeluar dalam negeri polyethylene terephthalate bagi pihak industri Malaysia.

Dagangan subjek yang dikatakan sedang dilambakkan ialah polyethylene terephthalate dengan kelikatan melebihi 0.70 dL/g yang dikelaskan di bawah Nombor Kod

Sistem yang Diharmonikan (Kod H.S.) 3907.60.000 dan Tatanama Tarif Berharmonis

ASEAN (AHTN) 3907.60.2000. Nombor Kod H. S. dan AHTN ini diberikan hanya untuk makluman tetapi tidak mempunyai kesan mengikat terhadap pengelasan dagangan subjek.

P.U. (B) 292 3

Pengataan lambakan adalah berdasarkan perbandingan di antara nilai normal dagangan subjek di Republik Rakyat China, Republik Indonesia dan Republik Korea dengan harga eksport yang bersamaan dengannya apabila dieksportkan ke Malaysia.

Berdasarkan perbandingan ini, margin lambakan sebagaimana yang dikatakan oleh pempetisyen adalah ketara bagi pengeluar/pengeksport tersebut.

Pempetisyen telah menyatakan dan telah memberikan keterangan bahawa import dagangan subjek dari negara yang dituduh telah meningkat dari segi jumlah mutlak kuantiti. Adalah dikatakan selanjutnya bahawa industri Malaysia telah mengalami kemudaratan melalui kesan lambakan, antara lain, pemotongan harga, kemelesetan harga, penyekatan harga, penurunan dalam aliran tunai, pengurangan syer pasaran, pengurangan dalam jualan domestik, kehilangan keuntungan, inventori dan pulangan pelaburan.

Setelah menentukan bahawa keterangan yang mencukupi wujud untuk mewajarkan suatu penyiasatan duti anti-lambakan dan bahawa penyiasatan sedemikian adalah demi kepentingan awam,

Kerajaan memulakan penyiasatan menurut subperaturan 7(1) Peraturan-Peraturan Duti Timbal Balas dan Anti-Lambakan 1994.
