The investigation must be concluded within 15 months, although it can be terminated without measures, earlier.
A decision to impose provisional duties can be taken after a minimum of 60 days from the start of the formal investigation. However, as provisional Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) can only run for 6 months, it is more usual to impose Provisional Duty for the last 6 months of the investigation. If this happens, a security against ADD on imports is taken on entry to free circulation and held, until the results of the investigation are published.
At the end of the investigation, the provisional ADD may be made definitive, may lapse or be cancelled. If, following the investigation, it is decided that the duty should be made definitive, the security will be collected. Definitive measures will normally remain in place for 5 years.
This information should be displayed to the public upon receipt.
