CHINA is reviewing its anti-dumping policies on chlorophene rubber in lieu of complaints against the influx of the imported rubber from a Japanese company. Chloroprene rubber is commonly used in electrical cables and other types of cables as well as waterproofing products.
According to China’s Ministry of Commerce, the move comes after receiving complaints from local chloroprene rubber producers against the Japan Electric Chemical Company, which apparently increased its dumping activities in the country.
In May 2005, the ministry imposed anti-dumping duties ranging from 2 to 151% on imported chloroprene rubber from Japan, the US and the European Union with a term of five years. The term was extended to another five years in 2011.(PRA)
