📋 Tender Overview
The Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission has amended the 2020 decision on the introduction of an anti-dumping duty on aluminum tape originating from the Republic of Azerbaijan and the People's Republic of China and imported into the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union.
The reason for these changes was the results of a repeat anti-dumping investigation to establish circumvention of the current measure, which was initiated in accordance with the order of the Director of the Department for the Protection of the Domestic Market of the EEC dated November 27, 2023 No. 10 based on the results of the consideration of the application submitted by the Association of Aluminum Producers, Suppliers and Consumers.
“The object of the re-investigation was aluminum tape from Azerbaijan, to which amendments were made that allow it to be classified by EAEU TN VED codes not specified in the decision to introduce an anti-dumping duty, or to be classified as a type for which the anti-dumping measure is not applied,” noted EEC Minister of Trade Andrei Slepnev.
He specified that, based on the results of the analysis of the information collected during the investigation, conclusions were made about the existence of a circumvention of the anti-dumping measure, the neutralization of its effect and the impact of this factor on the prices of goods sold in the sector of the economy on the market of the EAEU countries, as well as the presence of dumping imports as a result.
In this regard, the EEC Board extended the anti-dumping duty to aluminum tape originating from Azerbaijan and supplied by modified methods.
The decision will come into force after 30 calendar days from the date of its official publication.
The anti-dumping measure in question was established by the Decision of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission of September 22, 2020 No. 115 and has been in effect since October 24, 2020.
