towel rolls,Compressed towels,wet towels-Toilet paper dumping duties flushed away

(2010-01-11 22:58:51) Dumping duties imposed upon toilet paper imported from China and Indonesia have been removed, after a review towel rolls by the Australian Customs Service.

Federal Attorney-General Robert McClelland Compressed towels said in a public notice published in The Australian newspaper on Tuesday that the dumping duties would be revoked, with retrospective effect from wet towels December 31, 2008, and parties who had paid interim duties from January 1, 2009 could apply for a refund.

Indonesia had threatened to take Australia before the World Trade Organization (WTO) if Australia did not withdraw the dumping duties.

Dumping duties were imposed upon Indonesian and Chinese imported tissue products by former Home Affairs Minister Bob Debus in December 2008.

Dumping occurs when the export price of a product is less than the "normal" value of the same product in the domestic market of the country of export.[ Page closed ] [ Print ]
