The Customs Tariff Commission of China has decided to, from May 31, 2014, levy antidumping (AD) duties on tetrachloroethylene originating in the EU and the USA for five years.

Relevant matters are hereby announced:

1. As of May 31, 2014, as regards the EU and USA tetrachloroethylene under HS Code 29032300, China Customs shall levy antidumping duties and import value-added tax (VAT) besides existing import duties, by differentiating between suppliers, as per the appropriate rates listed in the Annex 2 hereto and the calculation formula below:

Antidumping Duty Amount = customs duty-paid value × antidumping duty rate;
Import VAT Amount = (customs duty-paid value + import duty + antidumping duty) × import VAT rate

2. The tetrachloroethylene importers involved shall submit the Certificate of Origin to the customs; as regards the EU or USA origin, the importers shall also submit the invoices of original manufacturers.

Where the importers fail to provide the Certificate of Origin and the origin cannot be determined in any other ways, the customs shall levy the antidumping duties at their highest rates listed in the Annex 2.

Where the importers fail to provide the original manufacturer invoices for the definite EU or USA origin, and the original manufacturers cannot be determined through other documents, the customs shall levy the antidumping duties at their highest rates listed in the Annex 2 hereto for corresponding origins.

3. As regards bonded imports through processing trade, the antidumping duties shall be subjected to China Customs Decree No. 111 and to GACC Announcement No. 9 of 2001.

4. Any relevant deposits that the importers delivered to China Customs shall be converted into the antidumping duties as per the antidumping duty rates herein, with the import VAT to be levied as per VAT rate. As regards any excess of the deposits over the antidumping duties and import VAT, the importers may apply for return within 6 months from May 31, 2014; any shortage thereof shall not be levied any more.
