Canada terminated the AD/CVD investigation on drill pipe from China, after determining that there isn't a “reasonable indication” that dumping and subsidizing of the product has caused, or will cause, injury or retardation to domestic industry, HKTDC said.
Canada also extended a deadline to issue preliminary determinations in ongoing AD/CVD investigations on Chinese mattresses, mattress toppers and mattresses "for use and incorporation into furniture," the report said. The deadline is now July 7.
Mexico temporarily suspended its AD measures on certain Chinese ammonium sulfate, HKTDC said. The country suspended the measures for six months from May 25 for “urgent public interest reasons,” the report said.
Brazil recently revised the “terms of the price agreement” for certain imported Chinese citric acid and citrate salts, HKTDC said. The minimum cost, insurance and freight price under the agreement has been set at $1,275.78/tonne effective June 2, the report said.
Argentina recently determined that certain Chinese ceramic tableware exported by Indonesia’s PT Kedaung Oriental Porcelain Industry and imported into Argentina by Cencosud S.A., declared as originating in Indonesia, aren’t circumventing the AD order on subject merchandise from China, the report said.
