Türkiye Initiates Expiry Review of its Antidumping Duty Measure on Suspension Grade Polyvinyl Chloride (S-PVC) from the United States and Germany
Türkiye Initiates Expiry Review of its Antidumping Duty Measure on Suspension Grade Polyvinyl Chloride (S-PVC) from the United States and Germany
On July 3, Türkiye’s Ministry of Trade initiated an expiry review of its antidumping duty (AD) measure on imports of suspension grade polyvinyl chloride (S-PVC) from the United States and Germany. Türkiye’s AD measure on S-PVC has been in place since February 6, 2003.
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 CVD 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.
