Description
On December 9th, 2010 through its Foreign Trade Chamber (CAMEX), Brazil made public its decision to continue the application of antidumping duties for a further 5 years on pure resin and polyvinyl chloride, not mixed with any other substances, obtained in suspension (PVC-S) from the US and Mexico. The product is classified under the code 3904.10.10 of the Mercosur Common Nomenclature (NCM).
The specific antidumping duty applied is US$ 1,353.00 - 1.14 x CIF price per tone for the imported goods from the US and US$ 1,023.00 - 1.112 x CIF price per tone for the imported goods from Mexico. This decision was reached after the termination of an antidumping review initiated by Brazil on December 10th 2010. As done in a previous review, these prices will be updated every quarter to reflect the new reality of international market of PVC-S.
