  • The European Commission recently imposed definitive anti-dumping duties (ADD) on PVC imports from Egypt and the US following an investigation that showed that dumped imports from these two countries were harming the EU PVC industry, which was losing significant market share to such imports.
  • The ADD imposed are 74.2-100.1 per cent for imports from Egypt and 58-77 per cent for imports from the US.
The European Commission recently imposed definitive anti-dumping duties (ADD) on imports of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from Egypt and the United States.

The measures follow an anti-dumping investigation that showed that dumped imports from these two countries were harming the European Union (EU) PVC industry, which was losing significant market share to such imports.

The investigation also showed that, without such measures, the situation of the bloc’s PVC industry would most likely continue to deteriorate and could lead to plant closures. The EU PVC industry currently directly employs 4,000 people across seven member states.

The ADD imposed range from 74.2 per cent to 100.1 per cent for imports from Egypt and from 58 per cent to 77 per cent for imports from the United States, an official release said.

PVC is a thermoplastic polymer used in the manufacturing of various products like pipes and fittings, films and foils, injection moulding and blow moulding. The EU market for PVC is worth €3.5 billion.
