The Tariff Commission issued this report to investigate the merits of imposing a definitive Safeguard duty against importations of Reflective, Tinted, and Clear Float Glass (AHTN 2017 Subheadings 7005.10.90, 7005.21.90 and 7005.29.90) from various countries pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 8800 (Safeguard Measures Act). In this investigation report, the Commission determined: (a) if the subject domestic product is a like or directly competitive product to the imported product under consideration; (b) if the imported product under consideration is being imported into the Philippines in increased quantities whether absolute or relative to domestic production; (c) presence and extent of serious injury of threat thereof to the domestic industry that produces like or directly competitive product; (d) existence of causal relationship between the increased imports of the product under consideration and the threat of serious injury or threat thereof to the domestic industry. Taking into consideration all the above-mentioned elements, the Commission established a negative determiantion of the elemtns of serious injury and threat thereof. The Commission thus recommends that no definitive general safeguard measure be imposed on importations of reflective, tinted and clear float glass falling under AHTN 2017 Subheadings Nos. 7005.10.90, 7005.21.90, and 7005.29.90.
