Provisional Payments on Frozen Chicken Meat – Comment due

On 04 July 2014 the South African Revenue Service (Sars) imposed provisional payments (anti-dumping duties) on  frozen bone-in portions of fowl of the species gallus domesticus, classifiable under tariff subheading 0207.14.90, originating in or imported from Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (UK). A draft Government Gazette notice was first published, but subsequently replaced with a final notice. The provisional payments are 22.03%, 22.81%, 31.30% and 73.33% dependant on the country of origin and the company of origin. All interested parties now have 14 days to respond to the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac) report that details the reasoning for the imposition of the provisional payments.
