Brazil launches anti-dumping investigation on China's production of MDI

According to the Ministry of Commerce, the Foreign Trade Secretariat of Brazil’s Ministry of Industry and Foreign Trade issued an announcement on June 8, deciding to initiate anti-dumping investigations on polydiphenylmethane diisocyanate (polymeric MDI) imported from the United States, Belgium, and China.

Given that China is not considered as a market economy country during the anti-dumping procedure, the Pakistani side plans to choose the United States as an alternative country to calculate the normal value of Chinese products. Due to the large number of product manufacturers involved in the statistics, the Pakistani side will select the larger exporters as the survey targets. Other stakeholders can apply to participate in the survey within 20 days from the date of announcement. The company involved shall complete and submit the questionnaire within 40 days.
