REF: ALBRIGHT 4/29/09 EMAIL TO WEISEL/SHEA/KOCH/ROLLIN
1. On May 28 Australian Customs and Border Protection Service
informed Embassy that it has initiated an investigation into
alleged dumping of linear low density polyethelyne (LLDP)
from the US and Canada; the decision was also published in
the May 28 edition of national newspaper The Australian. Per
Australian Customs Dumping Notice No. 2009/12 (emailed
separately to State, USTR, and DOC/ITA),the investigation,
brought upon complaint by Qenos Pty Ltd, described as
Australia's only manufacturer of LLDP, will cover the period
January 1 2008 to March 31 2009.
2. Timing of the investigation is mandated by legislation,
and is described in greater detail in the Notice 2009/12.
Interested parties may lodge submissions by July 7. Customs
will issue a statement of essential facts by September 15,
with interested parties able to respond within 20 days. A
recommendation will be made to the Home Affairs minister by
October 30.
3. Comment: This appears to be the first new anti-dumping
investigation against a product from the United States since
the US-Australia FTA went into effect on January 1, 2005.
