Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 290/2004

The Mainland of China : Final Ruling on Anti-dumping Investigation Against Imports of Monoethanolamine and Diethanolamine from Japan, the United States, Germany, Iran, Malaysia, the Taiwan Province and Mexico

The Ministry of Commerce issued Notice No. 57/2004 on 14 November 2004, announcing the final ruling on anti-dumping investigation against imports of monoethanolamine and diethanolamine from Japan, the United States, Germany, Iran, Malaysia, the Taiwan Province and Mexico. The relevant tariff codes of the General Administration of Customs are 2922 1100 and 2922 1200, but monoethanolamine salts and diethanolamine salts under the two codes are not included.

 

ANTI-DUMPING MEASURE

  1.  
  2. The ruling confirmed that dumping existed regarding the investigated products originated in Japan, the United States, Iran, Malaysia, the Taiwan Province and Mexico, and that such dumping had caused material injury to the domestic industry. As a result, the Mainland had decided to impose anti-dumping duties, range from 9% to 74% on imports of monoethanolamine and diethanolamine from the above regions. The anti-dumping measure would be in place for 5 years from 14 November 2004.
  3. During the investigation period, imports of monoethanolamine and diethanolamine from Germany amounted to less than 3% of China's total import and the accumulated total of imports from similar countries (regions) were less than 7%. As a result, the Ministry of Commerce has ceased the anti-dumping investigation against imports of monoethanolamine and diethanolamine from Germany.
  4. For details of the initiation of the anti-dumping investigation and the preliminary finding of the case, please refer to our CIC No. 144/2003 dated 19 May 2003 and CIC No. 82/2004 dated 26 March 2004 respectively.
