Chinese Ministry of
Commerce on Thursday announced that its anti-dumping tax on
dichloromethane imported from the United Kingdom, the United
States, the Netherlands, Germany and the Republic of Korea is
expected to expire in six months time.
According to Chinese anti-dumping regulations, domestic
industries can still ask the Ministry of Commerce to re-investigate
dichloromethane imports before the expiration date.
If such import still constitutes damage to domestic industries,
the five-year anti-dumping period can be extended, the ministry
said.
On Aug. 16, 2001, China began levying the anti-dumping tax on
dichloromethane, so it is due to expire on Aug. 16, 2006.
