(Bernama) -- Malaysia has decided to
maintain the anti-dumping measure regarding imports of polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) or commonly known as plastic resin originating or exported
from Thailand. This follows an administrative review initiated on Oct 14 last
year on imports of the product from Taiwan, Indonesia, South Korea and Thailand
upon the request from a domestic producer.
In a statement, the International Trade and Industry Ministry said: "The
government has now completed the investigation and has confirmed the likelihood
of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the Malaysian domestic
industry with respect of imports of PET originating or exported from Thailand,
if the anti-dumping duties were removed."
The ministry said the Malaysian Royal Customs Department would enforce
the collection of the definitive duties. "The final measure will be in effect
for five years from the day the government gazettes the final determination of
the investigation", it said.
