DETAILS

2.Definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the Mainland of China had been imposed since 10 August 2011 at a rate of 62.9% of the net, free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty (except for a number of companies whose individual duty rates range from 48.4% to 62.9%).
