On November 8, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) issued a notice deciding to conduct an end-of-period review investigation from November 9, 2023 on the anti-dumping measures applied to imports of nitrile butadiene rubber originating from the Republic of Korea and Japan.
The dumping investigation period for this review is from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023, and the industrial damage investigation period is from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2023.
The scope of the review product NBR is the product to which the original anti-dumping measures apply, and the applicable customs tariff numbers are 40025910 and 40025990.
According to China Rubber Magazine, on September 8, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) received an application for end-of-period review of anti-dumping measures submitted by China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) Lanzhou Petrochemical Company Limited and Ningbo Shunze Rubber Company Limited on behalf of China's nitrile rubber industry.
The applicants claimed that if the anti-dumping measures are terminated, the dumping of imported NBR originated from Korea and Japan on China may continue or reoccur, and the damage caused to China's domestic industry may continue or reoccur, and requested the MOFCOM to carry out the end-of-period review investigation on imported NBR originated from Korea and Japan, and to maintain the anti-dumping measures imposed on imported NBR originated from Korea and Japan.
In accordance with the relevant regulations, MOFCOM reviewed the applicant's qualifications, the products under investigation and the situation of similar products in China, the imports of the products under investigation during the period of implementation of the anti-dumping measures, the likelihood of the continuation or recurrence of dumping, the likelihood of the continuation or recurrence of injury, and the relevant evidence.
Existing evidence shows that the applicant meets the requirements of industry and industry representation, and is qualified to apply on behalf of China's nitrile rubber industry. The investigating authority considered that the applicant's claims and the prima facie evidence submitted met the requirements for filing a final review case.
