Section 14

Imposition of anti-dumping duties

(1)

The Minister may impose an anti-dumping duty on the subject goods imported into Singapore where he or she determines —

(a)

that the export price of the subject goods is less than the normal value; and

(b)

that injury is found to exist in any one of the following ways:

(i)

the subject goods are, through the effects of dumping, causing material injury to the domestic industry in Singapore producing like goods;

(ii)

the subject goods are, through the effects of dumping, threatening to cause material injury to the domestic industry in Singapore producing like goods;

(iii)

the subject goods are, through the effects of dumping, causing material retardation of the establishment of the domestic industry in Singapore.

(2)

The amount of anti-dumping duty to be imposed —

(a)

is equal to the dumping margin determined to exist with respect to the subject goods; or

(b)

if the Minister determines that a lower anti-dumping duty will be sufficient to eliminate the injury determined in subsection (1)(b), is such lower duty.

(3)

For the purposes of this section —

(a)

it must be demonstrated that the subject goods are causing injury within the meaning of this Act;

(b)

the demonstration of a causal relationship between the subject goods and the injury to the domestic industry must be based on an examination of all relevant evidence before the Minister;

(c)

the Minister must also examine any known factors other than the subject goods which at the same time are injuring the domestic industry, and the injuries caused by these other factors must not be attributed to the subject goods.
