Anti-circumvention

On 25 February 2017, the Turkish authorities initiated an anti-circumvention investigation on imports of polyester partially oriented yarn from Thailand and Vietnam (Notification 2017/05). This investigation follows suspicion that the definitive antidumping duty imposed by Notification 2016/40 on imports of polyester textured yarn from Thailand and Vietnam (see related intervention) might be circumvented. Additionally, the investigation follows suspicion that the definitive antidumping duty imposed on imports of polyester textured yarn from Chinese Taipei and India as well as from China, Indonesia and Malaysia might also be circumvented, see related measures. The products subject to investigation are classified under the following HS code subheading: 5402.46. The products concerned by the possible circumvention are classified under the following HS code subheading: 5402.33.

On 4 August 2017, the Turkish authorities imposed a provisional duty on imports of the subject good from Thailand and Vietnam (Notification 2017/20). The rate of duty on imports from Vietnam is 36.28% of the CIF value. The rate of duty on imports from Thailand is 18.85% of the CIF value.

On 21 June 2018, the Turkish authorities extended the antidumping duty imposed on imports of polyester partially oriented yarn from Thailand and Vietnam (see related intervention) to imports of the same products falling under HS code subheading 5402.46. The rate of the duty on imports from Viet Nam is 8%. The rate of the duty on imports from Thailand is 8%. The definitive duty is imposed on the date the provisional duty was imposed i.e. 4 August 2017. The difference between the provisional and definitive duty is refunded.
