Taiwan to Strictly Audit Certificate Issuance of Fastener Origins After July 21st

The International Trade Bureau of Ministry of Economic Affairs (Taiwan) announced that after July 21st 2014 it will strictly audit the issuance of certificates of origins for fasteners exported to the EU. Carbon steel fasteners exported from China to the EU under tariff codes CC7318.12, 7318.14, 7318.15, 7318.21, 7318.22 are subject to antidumping duties. In order to avoid the fraudulent behaviors of labeling Chinese-made products as made-in-Taiwan to apply for the certificates of origins, the authorities will strictly audit the applications for fasteners exported to the EU.
