Brazil to probe for dumping

The Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC) has initiated anti-dumping investigations into ceramic dinnerware imported from China, Xinhua News Agency reported Thursday, citing a Brazilian government announcement Wednesday.

The investigation was prompted by requests from several Brazilian enterprises, which claimed that Chinese companies dumped their dinnerware at a price of $1.35 per kilogram from April 2011 to March 2012, compared with the "normal" price of $4.66 per kilogram, and that such dumping has seriously hurt the local ceramics industry, the news report said, without specifying which firms are involved.

The total suspected value of the dumped goods is around $75 million, the China Ceramics Industrial Association (CCIA) said on its website December 20.

If the claim is found valid, the Chinese exporters may suffer punitive tariffs from Brazil, the news report said.

The Chinese ceramics industry has recently faced anti-dumping investigations in many places around the world.

The European Union made a preliminary ruling on November 15 that it would levy 26.6 to 58.8 percent anti-dumping duties on Chinese ceramic dinnerware for six months starting November 16, the CCIA said in a separate statement.
