Brazil: Antidumping investigation on imports of ferrite magnets from China
Description
On May 26th, 2010 Brazil through its “Câmara de Comércio Exterior” (CAMEX) made public its decision to continue the application of antidumping duties for more 5 years on the imports of ferrite magnets (ceramic) in ring form from China. The product is classified under the code 8505.19.10 of the Mercosur Common Nomenclature (NCM).
The ad valorem antidumping duty applied is of 43% over the CIF value of the imported goods. This decision was reached after the termination of an antidumping review initiated by Brazil on June 6th, 2009. The present antidumping duty was maintained in the same level as the one applied before by the previous review, in force since June 3th, 2004.
Any Evidence-Based Deliberation:
The Decision to terminate the review was taken on the basis of the elements of proof and analysis contained in the Annex of RESOLUÇÃO Nº 37.
