　　PART ONE　GENERAL PROVISIONS

　　Article 1　These Regulations are formulated³ in accordance with the relevant provisions of the PRC， Foreign Trade Law to maintain order in foreign trade activities and to safeguard fair competition.

　　Article 2　Where products imported into the market of the People's Republic of China by way of dumping result in substantial injury or the threat of substantial injury to a related domestic industry that has already been established， or substantially impede⁴ the establishment of a related domestic industry， investigations⁶ shall be conducted and anti-dumping measures taken in accordance with these Regulations.

　　PART TWO　DUMPING AND INJURY

　　Article 3　Dumping means the entrance into the market of the People's Republic of China of an imported product at an export price lower than its normal value in the ordinary course of trade.

　　The Ministry⁷ of Commerce shall be responsible for the investigation⁵ and determination of dumping.

　　Article 4　The normal value of an imported product shall be determined⁸ in accordance with the following methods：

　　1. where there is a comparable price for a product that is the same as the imported product in the market of the country （region） of export in the ordinary course of trade， that comparable price shall be the normal value； or

　　2. where there are no sales of the product that is the same as the imported product in the market of the country （region） of export in the ordinary course of trade， or the price or quantity of such product cannot be compared with that of the imported product on a fair basis， the comparable price for export of the product to a proper third country （region）， or the cost of the same product in the original country （region） of its production plus reasonable expenses and profit， shall be the normal value.

　　If a product is not imported directly from its country （region） of origin， its normal value shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Item one of the preceding paragraph； where the imported product is only in transit⁹ through the country （region） of export and there is no production of the product， nor a comparable price in the country （region） of export， the price of the same product in its country （region） of origin shall be the normal value.

　　Article 5　The export price of an imported product shall， in the light of different circumstances， be determined in accordance with the following methods：

　　1. where there is a purchase price that has been paid or a purchase price that is payable¹⁰ for the imported product， that price shall be the export price； or

　　2. where there is no export price to be found for the imported product or the export price is not reliable， the price inferred from the first resale price to an independent purchaser shall be the export price； where the imported product is not resold to an independent purchaser or it is not sold in its original form when it is imported， the price inferred on a reasonable basis by the Ministry of Commerce shall be the export price.

　　Article 6　The margin¹¹ by which the export price for an imported product is lower than its normal value shall be the dumping margin.

　　The export price and normal value of an imported product shall be compared on a reasonable and fair basis， taking into account all the comparable factors that may have effects on the price.

　　In determining the dumping margin， the weighted average normal value shall be compared with the weighted average price of the product in all the export transactions involving the product， or the average value shall be compared with the export price on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

　　Where the export price varies significantly for different purchasers， in different districts or in different periods and a comparison in accordance with the method specified¹² in the above paragraph is not possible， the weighted average normal value may be compared with the price for individual export transactions.

　　Article 7　Injury means substantial injury or the threat of substantial injury to a related domestic industry that has already been established caused by dumping or substantial impediment to the establishment of a related domestic industry because of dumping.

　　The Ministry of Commerce shall be responsible for the investigation and determination of injury. Investigations of injury related to domestic industries involving agricultural products shall be conducted by the Ministry of Commerce in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture.

　　Article 8　In determining the injury caused by dumping to a related domestic industry， the following items shall be examined：

　　1. the volume of the dumped products， including the absolute quantity of the dumped product or the increased quantity of the dumped product as compared to the same product produced or consumed in China or the probability of a large increase of imports；

　　2. the price of the dumped product， including price decreases of the dumped product or the impact of the price of the dumped product on the price of the same product in China in the form of a significant suppression or lowering of the latter price；

　　3. the impact of the dumped product on related economic factors and indexes of the related domestic industry；

　　4. the production capacity， export capacity and stockpiles of the dumped product in the country （region） of export and the country （region） of production； and

　　5. other factors that cause injury to the related domestic industry.

　　The determination of a threat of injury shall be made based on facts， but not on the basis of accusations¹³， inferences or remote possibilities.

　　The determination of injury to a related domestic industry caused by dumping shall be made according to definite evidence； injury not related to dumping shall not be attributed to dumping.

　　Article 9　If a dumped product is imported from two or more countries （regions） and both of the following conditions are true， the impact of that imported product on the related domestic industry may be assessed cumulatively¹⁵：

　　1. the dumping margin of the dumped product from each country （region） is not less than 2% and the quantity of its import is not negligible； and

　　2. a cumulative¹⁴ assessment¹⁶ is appropriate in view of the conditions for competition between the dumped product that has been imported and between that imported product and the same product produced in China.

　　Negligible means that the quantity of the dumped product imported from one country （region） is less than 3% of the total quantity of the product imported， but an exception shall be made if the quantity of the dumped product from one of a group of countries （regions） accounts for less than 3%， but the total quantity of the product from this group is more than 7% of the total quantity of all imports of the product.

　　Article 10　The impact of a dumped product on a related domestic industry shall be assessed with reference only to the same product produced in China and， if that is not possible， reference shall be made to the narrowest group of products or the narrowest scope of production covering a product of the same kind produced in China.

　　Article 11　A domestic industry means all producers of the like product within the territory of the People's Republic of China， or producers whose total output of the same product accounts for the majority of output of the same product in China. However， if a domestic producer is affiliated¹⁷ with the exporter or importer of the dumped product， or itself is an importer of the dumped product， that producer may be excluded.

　　In special cases， producers for a regional market in which such producers sell all or nearly all their products of the same kind and in which the demand for the same product is not met by a supply from producers in other districts of China may be regarded as a separate industry.

　　Article 12　Like product means a product that is the same as the dumped product； where there is not a product that is the same as the dumped product， a product very closely resembling the dumped product shall be regarded as the like product.

　　PART THREE　ANTI-DUMPING INVESTIGATION

　　If the final finding determines that there exists a threat of substantial injury and previous provisional anti-dumping measures have been applied under circumstances where， if pre-emptive provisional anti-dumping measures were not adopted， it would lead to a final finding that substantial injury would occur， the anti-dumping duty may be retroactively imposed for the period in which provisional anti-dumping measures have been implemented.

　　If the anti-dumping duty determined in the final finding is higher than the provisional anti-dumping duty that has been paid or is payable or than the estimated amount for the guarantee， the difference shall not be paid； if the anti-dumping duty determined by the final finding is lower than the provisional anti-dumping duty that has been paid or is payable or than the estimated amount for the guarantee， the difference shall be refunded³⁷ on the basis of the specific conditions or the amount of the duty shall be re-calculated.

　　Article 44　If the following two circumstances exist concurrently³⁸， the anti-dumping duty may be imposed retroactively on the dumped product imported within 90 days before the date on which the provisional anti-dumping measures began to be implemented， excluding products imported before the anti-dumping investigation began：

　　2. a large quantity of the dumped product has been imported within a short period of time and the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty to be adopted may possibly be seriously undermined.

　　Where， after the Ministry of Commerce has initiated investigation， there is sufficient evidence to prove that the two circumstances listed in the preceding paragraph exist concurrently， it may adopt the necessary measures such as import registration⁴⁰ towards the relevant dumped product in order to retroactively impose anti-dumping duty.

　　Article 45　If the final finding determines that no anti-dumping duty shall be imposed or the finding does not provide for a retroactive imposition of the anti-dumping duty， the provisional anti-dumping duty and deposit already collected shall be refunded and the letter of guarantee and other types of guarantee shall be released.

　　Article 46　An importer of the dumped product who has definite evidence that the amount of the anti-dumping duty already paid exceeds the dumping margin may apply to the Ministry of Commerce for a rebate⁴¹.

The decision shall be implemented by customs.

　　Article 47　After the anti-dumping duty is imposed on the dumped product， if a new exporter of the product who did not export that product to the People's Republic of China within the period of investigation is able to prove that it is not associated with any of the exporters on whom anti-dumping duties have been imposed， it may apply to the Ministry of Commerce for a separate determination for its dumping margin. The Ministry of Commerce shall immediately make an examination and then a final finding. In the process of the examination， the measures specified in Item （2） of Paragraph One of Article 28 hereof may be applied， but no anti-dumping duty shall be imposed on that product.

　　PART FIVE　TIME LIMIT FOR ANTI-DUMPING DUTY AND PRICE UNDERTAKING AND REVIEW

　　Article 48　The time limit for the imposition of anti-dumping duty and the performance of the price undertaking shall not exceed five years. If a review determines that the termination of the anti-dumping duty may result in the continuation or recurrence⁴³ of the dumping and injury， the time limit for the imposition of the anti-dumping duty may reasonably be extended.

　　Article 49　After the anti-dumping duty is imposed， the Ministry of Commerce may， with good reasons， decide to make a review of the necessity to continue the imposition of the anti-dumping duty. After a reasonable period of time， the Ministry of Commerce may also decide to make a review of such necessity at the request of an Interested Party after examination of the relevant supporting documents provided by that interested party.
