On 9 August 2024, the Government of Malaysia (“Government”) initiated an anti-dumping duties investigation on imports of Polyethylene Terephthalate classified under the Harmonised System Code and ASEAN Harmonised Tariff Nomenclature 3907.61.00 00 (“subject merchandise”) originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China and the Republic Of Indonesia (“targeted countries”).¹ The Petition was filed by Recron (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (“Petitioner”).
 
The Petitioner alleges that the dumping margins of the subject merchandise from the targeted countries are significant. The increasing of absolute quantity of imports from the targeted countries has caused the domestic industry to suffer injury, among others, increased in import volume, reduction in market share, decline in sales volume and turnover, decline in profitability, decreased in cash flow, reduction in return on investment and total assets, price undercutting, price depression, price suppression, low productivity, reduction in employment and increase in wages.
 
All interested parties who wish to participate in the anti-dumping duties investigation may contact MITI in writing to request the questionnaires no later than 24 August 2024.
 
Please contact Ms. Lim Koon Huan (Partner), Mr. Manshan Singh (Partner), Ms. Ho Pui Yan (Associate) or Ms. Lim Shu Yi (Associate) of our Anti-Dumping and Trade Remedies Practice for further information.
