Cap. 159 Art. 15Relief in respect of duties.

(1) Where it appears to the President of Malta, after consultation with the Corporation, that relief under this article should be available as respects a duty imposed by an order under this Part of this Ordinance (being an order made to afford protection against dumping), the President of Malta may, if he thinks fit, in that or a subsequent order under this Part of this

Ordinance, apply the provisions of this article in relation to the duty.

(2) Where this article applies in relation to any duty, the importer of any goods chargeable with the duty as being goods originating in or, as the case may be, exported from a specified country may apply to the President of Malta for relief from the duty on those goods.

(3) If on an application so made the President of Malta, after consultation with the Corporation, is satisfied that the export price of the goods from that country with the amount of the duty added to it exceeds the fair market price of the goods in that country, the President of Malta shall notify the Comptroller of the amount of the excess, and the Comptroller shall remit or repay the duty up to that amount.

(4) An application under this article as respects any goods shall not be made more than six months after the duty has been paid on the goods, and in connection with any such application the applicant shall furnish such information and evidence as the President of Malta or the Corporation may require from him for ascertaining the said export price or fair market price.

(5) The foregoing provisions of this article shall have effect in relation to a duty imposed by an order under this Part of this Ordinance (being an order made to afford protection against the giving of a subsidy) as if references to the fair market price in a country were references to the export price from that country increased by such amount, if any, as may be necessary to offset the effect of the giving of the subsidy.
