Mexico began an AD investigation into certain “rigid PVC” from China and is accepting comments on the investigation. The country also rescinded its AD order on certain “radio guide coaxial cable” from China because no “domestic producers expressed their interest in continuing this measure.” An AD order on certain “pre‑stressed iron and steel products” was renewed, the report said, and the goods will continue to face a duty of $1.02 per kilogram.
Brazil revised the terms of the AD price agreement for imports of Chinese “citric acid and certain citrate salts” from specific companies, HKTDC said, adding that the minimum cost, insurance and freight price is now $1,277.40 per tonne. The country also ruled that certain citric acid that was declared as originating in India and produced by Vasa Pharmachem is actually produced in China.
