I, JASON CLARE, the Minister for Home Affairs, have considered REP 185 and have decided to accept the recommendations and reasons for the recommendations, including all the material findings of facts or law set out in REP 185. Pursuant to superseded subsection 8(5) of the Customs Tariff (Anti Dumping) Act 1975, I hereby give a direction in respect of polyvinyl chloride homopolymer resin (hereinafter referred to as the goods) exported from Japan and the United States of America to Australia.
I DIRECT that, having regard to subsection 8(5A), the dumping duty referred to in subsection 8(4), ascertained by reference to the value and quantity of the goods, is the amount, if any, by which the export price of the goods for each of the exporters identified in Column 1 of the Table attached, is less than the amount in Column 2 (the normal value of the goods) or Column 3 (the non-injurious free-on-board price of the goods), whichever is the lesser.
