US applies dumping duties on Chinese brightening agents and steel nails

2012 04 24


THE US International Trade Commission has approved anti-dumping duties on optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan after rejecting duties on steel wheels from China and refrigerators from South Korea and Mexico, Reuters reports.

North Carolina-based Clariant Corporation brought the case against mainland and Taiwan imports of brightening agents, used in detergents and cosmetics. The US imports US$39 million worth of brighteners from China last year and $19 million from Taiwan.

The commission also approved duties on steel nails from the United Arab Emirates on, voting 6-0 in both cases that US producers had been materially injured or threatened by the imports.

The steel nail ruling was brought about by the Mid Continent Nail Corporporation of Missouri, the largest supplier of fasteners to the US wooden pallet and crating industry.
