The Chilean government has applied a definite, ad-valorem safeguarding duty of 38.9 percent over the imports of wire rod, following a recent recommendation of the nation’s price distortion commission, CNDP.
The decision, which was published Friday at the nation’s official gazette, Diario Oficial, exempt the duty for wire rod imports coming from Canada, Mexico and Peru, as these countries don’t have a representative share in Chile’s total wire rod imports.
CHQ wire rod imports are excluded from the decision as well, the Chilean government said.
The products subject to the definite 38.9 percent ad-valorem tariff currently fall under the following Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers: 7213.2000, 7213.9110, 7213.9120, 7213.9190, 7227.1000, 7227.2000 and 7227.9000.
