Pakistan’s National Tariff Commission has announced the imposition of provisional antidumping (AD) duty on cold rolled coil (CRC) imports from Ukraine and China. The commission has decided that the domestic industry suffered material injury on account of the increase in the volume of dumped imports, price undercutting, price depression, price suppression, declines in market share, profits, sales, capacity utilization and returns on investment, and the negative effect on cash flow, inventories and ability to raise capital. The provisional antidumping duty rates range between 8.31 percent and 19.04 percent.
The antidumping duty investigation launched in July 2015 covered the period between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015.
The products subject to provisional duty currently fall within the Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7209.1690, 7209.1790, 7209.1890, 7209.1610, 7209.1710, 7209.1810, 7209.2690, 7209.2790, 7209.2890, 7209.2610, 7209.2710 and 7209.2810.
