Brazil’s foreign trade chamber, Camex, has imposed definite antidumping (AD) duties on the imports of cast iron pipes from China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and India for a five-year period.
The products subject to the tariffs, which range from $102.12/mt to $1,166.61/mt, fall under the Mercosur HS code 7303.00.00.
All Chinese exporters will pay a $804.78/mt levy. Jindal Saw Gulf LLC, from the UAE, will pay a $245.03/mt tariff. Other Emirati exporters are entitled to a $939.8/mt duty. Indian producers will pay duties ranging from $102.12/mt, as it is the case of Jindal Saw Limited, while others like Electrosteel Castings Limited will pay $1,166.61/mt.
Camex said the duties follow a request from Saint-Gobain Canalização LTDA.
