RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
After examining the submissions made by the interested parties and issues raised therein; and considering the facts available on record, the Authority concludes that:-
The investigation was initiated and notified to all interested parties and adequate opportunity was given to the domestic industry, exporters, importers and other interested parties to provide positive information on the aspects of dumping, injury and the causal link. Having initiated and conducted investigation into dumping in terms of the AD Rules and having established positive dumping margin, the Authority is of the view that imposition of definitive antidumping duty is required to offset dumping. Therefore, the Authority considers it necessary to recommend imposition of definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of the subject goods from subject country in the form and manner described hereunder.
