Imports from companies that cooperated in the original investigation are usually liable to their own individual duty, but there is also a ‘country-wide’ duty for imports from all other companies producing and exporting the product concerned. This so-called ‘residual duty’ is applicable to the exporters that failed to cooperate in the investigation, and is normally higher than the individual duty applicable to cooperating exporters. If a company starts exporting the product only after the investigation period, its goods will also be subject to the ‘residual’ duty.

 

Exporters that have not exported during the original investigation period may ask for a newcomer review/accelerated review in order to obtain an individual duty rate.

 

However, companies that either did not exist or did not export the product concerned during the original investigation period can request a newcomer review in anti-dumping proceedings or an accelerated review in anti-subsidy proceedings to have their own individual duty rate established. A newcomer review/accelerated review must be concluded within 9 months.
