The Regulations Governing the Implementation of the Imposition of Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties Article 13

In cases where a public notice has been made pursuant to Article 9, and interested parties have been given opportunities to submit information and make comments, the MOF may, after a preliminary determination of the existence of subsidy or dumping and of the consequent injury to the domestic industry, apply provisional countervailing or anti-dumping measures after consulting with the competent authorities, in order to prevent injury to the domestic industry during the investigation period, and shall notify the applicant and all known interested parties immediately and make a public notice thereof.The duty-payer may provide security or guarantee as set forth in Article 11 of the Act, for the imposition of provisional countervailing duty or antidumping duty as referred to in the preceding paragraph.The provisional countervailing duty or anti-dumping duty shall not be levied during the sixty-day period from the date of initiating an investigation. The maximum provisional duty levy period is four months. However, upon the request of the foreign exporter occupying a considerable ratio of the trade volume, the maximum imposition period of the provisional antidumping duty may be extended to six months.When the MOF, in the course of an investigation, considers to examine whether a duty lower than the margin of dumping would be sufficient to remove injury, the aforesaid imposition periods of four months and six months shall be extended to six months and nine months respectively following determination by the Commission.
