Where a product is subject to definitive anti-dumping duties, the Director-General shall promptly carry out a review for the purpose of determining individual dumping margins for any exporters or producers in the exporting country concerned who did not export the product to Sri Lanka during the period of investigation, provided, such exporters or producers may show that they are not related to any of the exporters or producers in the exporting country who are subject to the anti-dumping duties on the imported investigated product. Such a review shall be initiated within a period of one month following the date of receipt of the application by the producer or exporter concerned.
A review under subsection (1) shall generally be completed within a period of six months from its initiation and, in any event, a period not later than twelve months of its initiation.
Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties
No anti-dumping duty shall be levied on imports from such exporters or producers at whose instigation a review is being carried out under subsection (1), while the review is being carried on. The Director-General may, however, request guarantees in the amount of the residual anti-dumping duty rate, as determined under subsection (6) of section 48 of this
Act, in order to ensure that, should such a review result in a determination of dumping in respect of such producers or exporters, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively to the date of the initiation of the review.
