The European Union (EU) had in July last year initiated an anti-dumping investigation concerning the import of epoxy resins from China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. The European Commission has provided a summary of the proposed temporary tariffs, which is now available for reference.
Among the companies under scrutiny, China’s Jiangsu Sanmu Group Co., Ltd. faces a dumping margin of 24.2%, with a harm threshold of 116%. This means that the company is significantly undercutting prices.
Several other Chinese companies are also implicated in this investigation. Notably, the Sinochem Group, which includes Jiangsu Yangnong Jinhu Chemical Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Ruiheng New Material Technology Co., Ltd., and Nantong Xingchen Synthetic Materials Co., Ltd., has a dumping margin of 40.8% and a harm threshold of 118.9%. Companies such as Zhanxin Resin (China) Co., Ltd. and Changchun Chemical (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. also face a 30.3% dumping margin, with similar harm thresholds.
In Taiwan, Changchun Synthetic Resin Factory Co., Ltd. has a dumping margin of 10.8%, while Nanya Plastics Corporation is slightly higher at 11%.
In Thailand, Aditya Birla Chemicals (Thailand) Ltd is facing a 32.1% dumping margin. All other companies from Thailand are also subject to this rate.
Interestingly, the investigation found that South Korean companies are not engaging in dumping, resulting in no proposed duties for them.
