BACKGROUND

2.Definitive anti-dumping duty on certain iron or steel fasteners originating in the Mainland of China has been imposed since 1 February 2009. Consequent to a circumvention investigation, the anti-dumping duty has been extended with effect from 27 July 2011 to imports of the same products consigned from Malaysia, regardless of whether they are declared as originating in Malaysia or not. As a result of two reviews initiated in March 2012 and June 2012, the applicable rate of the definitive anti-dumping duty has been amended to 74.1% of the net, free-at-Union-frontier price before duty (except for a number of companies whose individual duty rates range from 0% to 69.7%).
