UPDATE: Indonesia begins antidumping probe on PP homopolymers

SINGAPORE (ICIS)–Indonesia has initiated an antidumping investigation on imported polypropylene (PP) homopolymer products, according to a government document obtained by ICIS on Thursday.

The products are under HS code 3902.10.40, based on the document dated 4 December from the Indonesian Anti-Dumping Committee (KADI).

The investigation was requested by PT Chandra Asri Pacific and targeted at exporters from Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, South Korea, Malaysia, China, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, according to the document.

Initial evidence suggests incidents of dumping by these exporters, resulting in losses suffered by players in the domestic industry in Indonesia which are producing similar products, KADI said.

A questionnaire will be sent to those involved and interested parties can submit feedback or request a public hearing no later than 17 December, two weeks from the date of the notice.
