Provisional Anti-dumping Duties imposed on Ordinary Portland Cement

Provisional anti-dumping duties have been imposed on Ordinary Portland Cement from Pakistan, imported under tariff code 2523.29,  with immediate effect. The duties imposed are determined by manufacturer as follows:

ITAC has once again calculated a residual duty lower than the duties imposed on three cooperating exporters. This odd situation was also recently seen in the Wheelbarrows anti-dumping investigation against China in which a cooperating exporter was slapped with a higher provisional duty than the residual duty. The residual duty is calculated for the rest of the manufacturers that did not submit their information to ITAC, that is, the manufacturers that did not corporate with ITAC in the case. A duty that is favourable to non-cooperating exporters rather than cooperating exporters appears not to be in the spirit of the Anti-dumping Agreement.
