Brasilien genehmigt vorübergehende Antidumping -Maßnahmen gegen kanadische Polyethylenharze in den USA

The official tariff rate hasn’t been announced yet, but we may have some idea of what it will be.

>Brazil’s Department of Trade Defense (Decom) has recommended provisional antidumping duties on polyethylene (PE) resin imports from the US and Canada. The decision, published in the country’s official gazette on 20 August, follows findings of material injury to the domestic industry caused by imports sold at unfairly low prices.

>The proposed duties are R$238.49 ($43.52)/t for Canadian imports and R$199.04/t for US imports, applicable for up to six months. These rates reflect dumping margins identified during the investigation, with a 10pc reduction applied.
