| Power to require information from importers concerning dumping . |
219. (1) The Commissioner may require the importer of goods regarded as having been dumped to state such facts concerning the goods and their history as the Commissioner may think necessary to determine whether the goods are goods originating in a country specified in an order or are goods exported from any country, and to furnish him in such form as he may require with proof of any statements so made; and if proof is not furnished to his satisfaction or the required facts are not stated, the goods shall be deemed for the purposes of this Act to have originated in or, as the case may be, to have been exported from, such country as he may determine.
(2) Where the question whether any and if so what dumping duty is chargeable on the goods depends on other matters besides the country in which the goods originated or from which they were exported, the Commissioner may also require the importer to state such facts as the Commissioner may think necessary to determine that question, and with regard to those other matters to furnish him in such form as he may require with proof of any statements so made; and if proof is not furnished to his satisfaction or the required facts are not stated, those facts shall be deemed for the purposes of duty imposed by an order to be such as he may determine. |
