The European Commission has amended anti-dumping measures on Chinese tinplate imports, granting new exporting producer status to Linqing Hengtai Metal Materials.
The company will now face a 24.6% duty, in line with cooperating non-sampled exporters, after proving it did not export during the original investigation period, is not linked to existing exporters, and began shipments to the EU only after the probe began.
Existing duties on Chinese tinplate range from 13.1% to 46.8% for sampled firms and 62.3% for non-cooperating exporters, Kallanish notes.
