Brazil Initiates Review of its Antidumping Duty Measure on Butyl Acrylate from the United States
Brazil Initiates Review of its Antidumping Duty Measure on Butyl Acrylate from the United States
On March 10, 2026, Brazil’s Department of Commercial Defense initiated an expiry review of its antidumping duty (AD) measure on imports of butyl acrylate from the United States. Brazil’s AD measure on butyl acrylate has been in place since March 25, 2009. The AD duties currently in place for U.S. producers/exporters range from $0.19 USD/kilogram to $0.42 USD/kilogram.
What is an expiry review?
An expiry review is also known as a sunset review, and its purpose is to determine whether the revocation of the AD or countervailing measure would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping or unfair subsidization and material injury to the domestic industry. The measure may only be extended beyond five years, counting from the date on which a measure was first instituted or the most recently completed expiry review, if both conditions are met.
