EC initiates antidumping investigation on S-PVC imports from Egypt and US
by ChemOrbis Editorial Team - content@chemorbis.com
According to an announcement on the website of the European Union Law, the European Commission (EC) has launched an investigation on S-PVC imports from Egypt and the US. The probe followed a complaint that was lodged in early October by the Polyvinyl Chloride Trade Committee on protection against dumped imports from countries that are not members of the European Union.
The Committee alleged that imports of S-PVC (classified under CN code (ex) 3904 10 00 and TARIC codes 3904100015 and 3904100080), originating in Egypt and the United States of America (USA), are being dumped and are thereby causing injury to the industry in the most recent period amid rising export volumes. Meanwhile, E-PVC (emulsion PVC) was not included in the probe.
Union producers of the product under investigation are invited to participate in the Commission investigation. The investigation is scheduled to be completed within 13 to 14 months.
