China's Ministry of Commerce and the China Customs just announced separately that China will continue to impose anti-dumping charges on PVC powder imported from the United States, South Korea, Russia, Japan and Taiwan. A five-year term will take effect on September 29, 2008, when the previous five-year term will end.
The duty rates will remain the same, which means, with the exception of Formosa Plastics Co. USA (11 percent), all other U.S. exporters will be subject to 83 percent anti-dumping duties.For further details, email me and get a copy of the Ministry of Commerce's official document in Chinese.
