Brazil imposes AD duties on cast iron pipe imports from three countries

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.
