According to a decree published on the Turkish Official Gazette on October 17, 2020, the Ministry of Trade launched an antidumping investigation on LDPE imports (with HS code 3901.10.90.00.11) from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Based on the application made by Turkey’s domestic producer, Petkim Petrokimya Holding AS., it was stated that the allegedly dumped Saudi Arabian LDPE imports caused material damage or the threat of damage in the economic indicators of the domestic production branch, adding that its market share in general imports increased over the years.
If a possible dumping decision is taken as a result of the investigation, it will be notified in a separate decree on the Official Gazette.
