Chicken Anti-dumping Duty On 05 April the South African Revenue Service (Sars) announced the deletion of anti-dumping item 201.02/0207.14/01.06 that reads “Frozen meat of fowls of the species Gallus Domesticus, cut in pieces with bone-in, manufactured by Tyson Foods Incorporated”, which is based in the United States of America (USA). The rate of anti-dumping duty was 224c/kg. The deletion of anti-dumping item 201.02/0207.14/02.06 that reads “Frozen meat of fowls of the species Gallus Domesticus, cut in pieces with bone-in, manufactured by Gold Kist Incorporated”, which is based in the USA. The rate of anti-dumping duty is 245c/kg. The aforementioned are substituted by anti-dumping item 201.02/0207.14/03.06 that reads “Frozen meat of fowls of the species Gallus Domesticus, cut in pieces with bone-in United States of America”. The rate of anti-dumping duty is 940c/kg. It can be deduced from this amendment that Tyson Foods Incorporated and Gold Kist Incorporated did not take part in the current anti-dumping investigation (Sunset Review). It should be borne in mind that if the overseas exporter does not take part in an anti-dumping investigation, then the existence of dumping cannot be disputed or challenged.
