The petition shall be immediately rejected and the investigation terminated in the situations described below:


* In the case of a product originating from a developed country, when:


     - the amount of subsidy is de minimis, i.e., less than 1%; or


     - the volume of subsidized imports or the injury is negligible.


* In the case of a product originating from a developing country, when:


     - the level of subsidies granted does not exceed 2% of the value calculated on a per unit basis (for least developed countries, it is 3%); or


     - the subsidized imports are less than 4% of the total imports of the importing country. However, this rule does not apply when developing countries with individual shares of less than 4% collectively account for more than 9% of total imports.
