Last week, China's Ministry of Commerce announced that it will start an expiry review on anti-dumping measures against optical fiber preform (or fiber preform) from the United States and Japan.

News reports indicate that China is taking an additional month to review the tariffs on Australian barley that were the subject of a WTO dispute, and which China recently agreed to review.

These duties are imposed on imports from South Korea, Taiwan, the United States and India.

In a ruling circulated today, a WTO panel has found that China's anti-dumping measures on stainless steel products from Japan violate a number of obligations in the WTO's Anti-dumping (AD) Agreement.

China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) recently extended the anti-dumping measures imposed on chloroprene rubber from the European Union, Japan and the United States.

Last month, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) concluded its expiry review of anti-dumping measures on optical fiber from the United States and the European Union, and decided to maintain the anti-dumping duties of up to 78.2%.

China's Ministry of Commerce announced yesterday that it would extend the 47.1% anti-dumping duties it has been imposing on Japanese chemicals for another five years.
