HC Deb 26 February 1991 vol 186 c445W
Mr. Oppenheim

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list all items and products subject to either tariffs of more than 5 per cent., bilateral or EC-wide import quotas, voluntary restraint agreements of any type or anti-dumping duties.

Mr. Redwood

On the subjects of import quotas, voluntary restraint arrangements and anti-dumping duties, I refer my hon. Friend to my hon. Friend the Minister for Trade's replies of 17 January 1991 at columns593–94, 4 February 1991 at column 26 and 5 February 1991 at column 78. On the question of anti-dumping duties, there are certain changes to the list that was placed in the Library of the House. Linear Tungsten Halogen Lamps from Japan is now subject to definitive anti-dumping duties of 35.6 per cent. and 46.5 per cent. which will expire on 20 January 1996. The definitive anti-dumping duties in force against two of the products on the list—clogs from Sweden and hydraulic excavators from Japan—have now expired. Provisional anti-dumping duties of between 2.1 per cent. and 17.4 per cent. have been imposed on small-screen colour television receivers from Hong Kong and China; these are due to expire on 24 May 1991.

With regard to the Community's common customs tariff, a very wide range of products is subject to rates of more than 5 per cent. Full details are contained in the Official Journal of the European Communities which can be found in the Library of the House.
