BEIJING, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday announced preliminary rulings on its anti-dumping investigations into halogenated butyl rubber from Canada, Japan and India.
According to a statement, the ministry has decided to terminate its probes into halogenated butyl rubber imports from India due to their low market share, while confirming anti-dumping violations in such products from Canada and Japan.
Under China's anti-dumping regulations, importers of Canadian and Japanese halogenated butyl rubber must pay security deposits of up to 40.5 percent to Chinese customs, starting Aug. 14, the statement said.
China launched the investigations on Sept. 14, 2024.
Halogenated butyl rubber is mainly used in products including airtight layers of tubeless tires, heat-resistant inner tubes, as well as medicinal bottle stoppers, shockproof pads, adhesives and sealing materials. ■
