On February 23, 2009, the Argentinian authorities decided to impose a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of the above-mentioned products originating in Brazil and China (Resolution 53/2009, 23.02.2009). The rate of the duty imposed on imports originating in Brazil is 413.43% of the FOB price. The rate of the duty imposed on imports originating in China is 1450.21% of the FOB price.
