Relevant matters are hereby announced:

1. As of January 28, 2013, China Customs shall levy antidumping duties and import value-added tax (VAT), besides existing import duties, on U.S. and EU ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (HS Code 29094300) by discriminating suppliers and by using the rates listed in the Annex 2 hereto and the formulas below:

Antidumping duty amount = duty-paid value × antidumping duty rate;

Import VAT amount = (duty-paid value + import duty amount + antidumping duty amount) × import VAT rate

2. Importers of the ethylene and diethylene glycol monobutyl ethers shall submit Certificates of Origin to the customs authorities;

As regards U.S. or EU origins, the importers shall submit invoices made by original producers;

Where the Certificates of Origin are not available and the origin cannot be determined in other ways, the customs shall levy the antidumping duties at the highest rates listed in the Annex 2 hereto;

Where the origin is confirmed U.S. or EU, but original producers’ invoices are not available and the original producers cannot be determined by other certificates, the customs shall levy the antidumping duties at the highest rates listed for U.S. or EU origin in the Annex 2 hereto.

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

4. The antidumping deposits, already paid following provisional antidumping measures, shall be converted into the antidumping duties as per the antidumping coverage and duty rates herein, and the import VAT deposits already paid shall also be converted into the import VAT;

As regards excess of those deposits over the duties and VAT herein, the importers may apply for return from the levying customs within six months from January 28, 2013; and shortage thereof shall not be levied any more.
