PREAMBLE
Please read this section before you proceed to answer the questions.
1.
Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) has received a petition for the
imposition of anti-dumping duties against a product that you may import.
2.
The World Trade Organization (WTO), to which Malaysia is signatory, provides
remedies by way of duties where imported products are found to be dumped
and are causing or threatening to cause material injury to a local industry
producing the like product.
3.
The Petitioner alleges that the subject merchandise is imported at dumped
prices and has materially injured the domestic industry. As required by the
Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties Act 1993 (Act 504), the Petitioner has
provided a detailed petition substantiating the allegations. A copy of nonconfidential version of the petition is attached.
4.
MITI has accepted the petition and has initiated an investigation. MITI is not an
advocate for any party in these inquiries, but analyse the information produced
by the industry, importers and affected foreign exporters/producers to reach an
impartial decision based on all the facts presented. MITI invites you to answer
this questionnaire about the product you may import and submit the response to
MITI within the time specified in the covering letter.
5.
If all information requested is not received by MITI within the time limit specified
in the covering letter, preliminary or final decisions may be made on the basis of
facts available in accordance with Section 41 of Act 504, based on Article 6.8
and Annex II of Article VI of The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994.
Failure to answer all applicable questions accurately may, because of strict
statutory time constraints, compel MITI to use facts available from other
sources. If MITI finds that any interested party has supplied false or misleading
information, MITI shall disregard any such information in accordance with
section 36 of Act 504 and make use of facts available in accordance with
section 41 of Act 504.

Guidelines to Complete the Non-Confidential Version
1.
All non-confidential submission will be made available in a public file.
2.
When completing the non-confidential submission you should bear in mind
that all exporters, importers, Malaysian domestic producers and other
interested parties will have access to it. The non-confidential submission
should provide in sufficient detail so as to permit a reasonable understanding
of the substance of the information submitted in confidence.
3.
In order to assist you in completing the non-confidential submission we advise
you to:
a. Use the completed confidential questionnaire response as a basis. Identify
all information in the confidential response, which you consider is not
confidential, and copy it to the non-confidential version.
b. After that, check once more whether the information you did not copy to
the non-confidential response is really confidential. If you still consider it to
be confidential, summarise the confidential information in non-confidential
form. If, in exceptional circumstances, it is not possible to even summarise
the confidential information, give reasons, why summarisation is not
possible.
c. If the authorities find that a request for confidentiality is not warranted and
if the supplier of the information is either unwilling to make the information
public or to authorise its disclosure in generalised or in summary form, the
authorities may disregard such information unless it can be demonstrated
to their satisfaction from appropriate sources that the information is
correct.
4.
Example on how to summarise confidential information:
a. When the information concerns numbers for various years, you can use
indices.
Example of confidential information:
Year 1
RM 20,000
Year 2
RM 30,000
Year 3
RM 40,000
The non-confidential summary could be:
Year 1
100
Year 2
150
Year 3
200
b. When the information concerns a single number, you can apply a %
change to it.
Example of confidential figure:
“Cost of production is RM 300 per MT.”
The non-confidential summary could be:
“Cost of production is RM330 per MT” (+ footnote saying: actual number
have been amended by a margin of maximum + 10%, to protect
confidentiality”)
c. When the confidential information concerns text, you can either summarise
it or eliminate the names of parties by indicating their function.
Example of confidential information:
“TRADING COMPANY Ltd., stated that the prices of imports were 20%
lower.”
The non-confidential summary could read:
“(one of the customers), stated that the prices of imports were 20% lower.”
