The concerned parties can also present briefs mentioning their opinions on a particular issue or issues to the NTC up to 30 days before the date of final determination.
Any foreign producer, who was not selected in sampling and therefore not investigated, if wants an individual dumping margin, it may voluntarily present required information to the NTC within a period of 15 days from the date of publication of this notice.
The NTC will take into account the information, if not unduly burdensome and does not prevent timely completion of this investigation, to establish individual dumping margin for that foreign producer subject to the verification of the information presented for this purpose, if necessary.
The local PFY industry contains 19 units. Total installed production capacity of these units is approximately 105,000 tons per annum. Installed production capacity of the current functioning nine units is approximately 84,865 tons per annum.
Moreover, the local demand for PFY in Pakistan is being coped with through sales by the local industry and by imports. The domestic use of PFY is determined by combining local industry's sales and total imports, and this is mentioned here as the total domestic market, which is approximately 135,000 tons per annum.
PFY is mainly used as raw material in the production of art silk fabrics and garments by loom operators and circular knitting operators. The imports of PFY used in the production of commodities for export purposes are freed from all duties and taxes under the DTRE scheme and hence, the imposition of anti-dumping duty will have no impact on the imports of PFY that are used for export.
