New Anti-dumping duties on Ceramic Filters from China
The Brazilian Secretariat of Foreign Trade has published the Circular SECEX No. 39/2019 in the Official Gazette.
It has initiated, in Brazil, a sunset review process of the anti-dumping duties applied on the imports of refractory ceramic filters, from China. The product under investigation is commonly classified into positions 6903.90.91 and 6903.90.99 of the NCM (Mercosur Common Nomenclature, which is based on the Harmonized System up to the first 6 digits).
The review was requested by Foseco Industrial e Comercial, representing the domestic industry.
The period of investigation is from January to December 2018 for the dumping analysis and from January 2014 to December 2018 for the injury analysis.
The interested parties (foreign producers/exporters, as well as the Brazilian importers) will receive questionnaires in the next days. Responses are due within 30 days and only questionnaires properly returned will be considered for the purposes of setting provisional and final duties.
Exporters participating in the sunset review will be able to influence the outcome of the investigation and to ensure that any mandatory duties are based on accurate data. Moreover, the cooperating exporters may be subject to individual dumping margins, which tend to be lower than the “all others” margin and, in case of extension of the anti-duties, benefit from the application of the “lesser duty”.
In this context, we strongly advise foreign exporters to participate in this sunset review.
In case you know exporters of this product, it is very important to advise them to provide detailed responses to the questionnaires on the due date, in order to allow Brazilian authorities to apply lower anti-dumping duties to their exports or even no duties at all.
