Mainland beer notifies Taiwanese distributors to raise prices and stock up quickly?
On June 19th, Taiwanese legislator Guo Guowen revealed that mainland beer has issued a document to distributors, explicitly stating that "the anti-dumping tax on beer has led to a significant increase in costs, and the four major brands, including Snow Mountain Beer, Budweiser Beer, Cola Na Beer, and BAR series beer, will be comprehensively raised," and calling on distributors to replenish and place orders in advance before the price increase.
Guo Guowen believes that there is indeed a dumping situation of mainland easy open end beer and is concerned about whether the dumping tax can be retroactively imposed. The Taiwan Customs Administration stated that according to Article 42 of the Implementation Measures for the Collection of Balance Tax and Anti dumping Tax, there are three situations where balance tax or anti-dumping tax can be levied 90 days before the start of the collection of balance tax or anti-dumping tax after being submitted to the review group for review.
There are three situations where imported goods receiving subsidies are imported in large quantities within a short period of time, causing damage to Taiwan's industries; The goods have a record of damage caused by dumping and have been imported in large quantities in a short period of time, causing damage to Taiwan's industry; Taiwanese importers know or have knowledge that offshore exporters are engaging in dumping that may cause harm, and importing large quantities in a short period of time that may harm Taiwanese industries.
If anti-dumping duties are to be retroactively imposed, the Customs Administration will conduct a short-term and large-scale import investigation in accordance with the "Principles for Determining the Determination of Backloading of Anti Dumping Duties in Dumping Investigations". The Director of Customs, Peng Yingwei, stated that the date of the announcement of the investigation will be used as the reference date, and the first three months will be compared with the previous three months.
According to regulations, if the import volume in the last three months is greater than 30% of the import volume in the first three months, it will be considered as a short-term large-scale import. However, the comparison period can be adjusted according to the situation, and the previous comparison period will also be adjusted to equal time.
However, in order to apply for retroactive taxation of anti clearance taxes, the applicant must reapply and state the aforementioned circumstances of retroactive taxation when applying.
