Outstanding safeguard and anti-dumping duty on chips

Whilst the preliminary safeguard duty on chips expired a few months ago and the preliminary anti-dumping duty on chips expired on Friday (20 June 2014), the final safeguard and anti-dumping duties may still be imposed. The final anti-dumping duties can still be imposed on frozen chips, anytime up to the 20th December 2014.  There is no similar expiry date for the safeguard investigation, but because it is deemed to be urgent, we must presume that it should be finalised no later than the anti-dumping investigation. If the anti-dumping investigation is not finalised by the 20th December 2014, the case will automatically terminate, with no option to extend it beyond that point.
