Traders (including CFSP) who are entitled to repayments of secured anti dumping duty or countervailing duty are now required to submit claims to the National Import Duty Adjustment Centre (NIDAC).
Claims must include a copy of the original import declaration and commercial documents such as invoices and transport documents. Where traders have claimed a company specific rate of duty, they must provide documentation to support this claim. To receive a quicker and more secure repayment include bank details with the claim so that the bank account can be credited directly.
Security will be held for 4 months from the definitive ruling date. After this time claims will need to be submitted to the National Duty Repayment Centre:
