Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 494/2011

The Mainland of China : Impending Expiry of Anti-dumping Measures against Imports of Potato Starch from the European Union

The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) issued Notice No. 43/2011 on 6 August 2011, announcing the impending expiry of anti-dumping measures against imports of potato starch from the European Union. The relevant tariff code is 1108 1300.

DETAILS

2.According to the "Regulations on Anti-Dumping", the duration of levying anti-dumping duty can be suitably extended if a review confirms that the removal of duty would likely cause the continuance or recurrence of injury to the domestic industries. As such, from the date of announcement (i.e. 6 August 2011) and no later than 60 days before the expiry of the anti-dumping measures, domestic enterprises or their representatives may submit applications to the MOC to request a review. The applications should include explicit review request and evidence that injury would be likely to continue or recur if the duty is removed.

3.If no application for a review is submitted in accordance with the notice nor the MOC considers warrant initiating a review before the expiry date of the anti-dumping measures, the anti-dumping measures against imports of potato starch from the European Union will be terminated on 6 February 2012.

4.For details of the final ruling of the subject anti-dumping cases, please refer to CIC No. 74/2007 dated 6 February 2007.
