In accordance with China's Antidumping Regulations, China's Customs Tariff Commission has decided to, from 19 August 2015, levy 2-year antidumping (AD) duties on optical fiber preformed bars originating in Japan and USA.

Relevant matters are hereby announced:

1. As from 19 August 2015, as regards optical-fiber preformed bars (HS Code 70022010) from Japan and USA, 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 importers involved shall submit the Certificate of Origin to the Customs; as regards the Japanese 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 hereto.

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

3. As regards bonded imports through processing trade, the antidumping duties shall be subjected to "China Customs Administrative Measures on Processing-Trade Leftover Materials, Defective Goods, By-Products and Damaged Bonded Goods" and to GACC Announcement No. 9 of 2001.

4. As regards antidumping deposit paid upon provisional antidumping measures, the importers may apply for refund within 6 months from 19 August 2015 from levying Customs districts.
