China will initiate an expiry review of the anti-dumping measures on toluidine imports from the European Union, said the Ministry of Commerce in an online notice.
Toluidine is a chemical used in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
In response to an application from domestic toluidine industry, the Ministry of Commerce has decided to initiate an expiry review investigation on the anti-dumping measures applicable to toluidine imports from the EU, effective from June 28, 2024, said the online notice.
This investigation will commence on June 28, 2024, and should be concluded by June 28, 2025, according to the Commerce Ministry.
Previously, the Ministry of Commerce decided to impose anti-dumping duties on the EU toluidine imports in June 2013, with rates ranging from 19.6 percent to 36.9 percent, effective from June 28, 2013, for a period of five years.
The ministry continued imposing anti-dumping duties on the EU toluidine imports in June 2019, effective from June 28, 2019, for another five years.
