Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 320/2007

The Mainland of China : Final Ruling on Anti-dumping Investigation Against Imports
of Bisphenol-A (C₁₅H₁₆O₂) from Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and
the Taiwan Province

The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) issued Notice No. 68/2007 on 29 August 2007, announcing the final ruling on the anti-dumping investigation against imports of bisphenol-A (C₁₅H₁₆O₂) from Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and the Taiwan Province. The relevant tariff code of the General Administration of Customs is 2907 2300.

ANTI-DUMPING MEASURE

2. The ruling confirmed the existence of dumping regarding the investigated products originated in Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and the Taiwan Province, and that such dumping had caused material injury to the domestic industry. As a result, the Mainland had decided to impose anti-dumping duties which range from 5.0% to 37.1% on imports of bisphenol-A (C₁₅H₁₆O₂) from the above regions. The anti dumping measure would be in place for 5 years from 30 August 2007. For details, please make reference to the notice issued by the MOC at :
