US EditionChina slaps anti-dumping duties on plastics from US, EU, Japan, Taiwan
- China announced anti-dumping duties on imports of POM copolymers from the US, EU, Japan, and Taiwan on May 18, 2025.
- The duties follow an investigation initiated in May 2024, which was prompted by the recent significant rise in U.S. tariffs on Chinese products such as electric vehicles and computer chips.
- POM copolymers are engineering plastics utilized in automotive, electronics, and medical sectors, serving as substitutes for certain metals including copper and zinc.
- The highest anti-dumping rate is 74.9% on US imports, while duties on European, Japanese, and Taiwanese imports range from 24.5% to 35.5%, with exceptions receiving lower rates.
- This move concludes China's investigation but occurs amid a 90-day US-China tariff truce and growing hopes of easing trade tensions.
