On July 10, 2014, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced that on July 8, 2014, it released a ruling announcement on re-investigation of anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing (CV) measures against chicken imported from the United States to carry out the ruling by the WTO trade dispute settlement mechanism.
MOFCOM made the ruling in its announcement that during the period of investigation, dumping and subsidy existed in chicken imported from the US. China’s domestic industry was substantially harmed and there was causal relationship between dumping and subsidy and the substantive damage. In addition, MOFCOM adjusted the dumping margin and price-subsidy rate of the US companies in light of the results. Starting from July 9, 2014, importers of chicken products imported from the US should pay AD and CV duties at Chinese Customs in accordance with the duty rates determined by the announcement. It is understood that the Chinese antidumping duties will now range from 46.6 percent to 73.8 percent on imports from US suppliers, a significant dip from the previous 50.4-105.4 percent levy. The tariff numbers of the above cited products are 02071100, 02071200, 02071311, 02071319, 02071321, 02071329, 02071411, 02071419, 02071421, 02071422, 02071429 and 05040021 in the Customs Import and Export Tariff of the People’s Republic of China. |
