UPDATE: Indonesia proposes final ADDs on PP block copolymer imports

SINGAPORE (ICIS)–The Anti-Dumping Committee of Indonesia (KADI) has recommended anti-dumping duties (ADDs) ranging from 7.17% to 29.01% on polypropylene (PP) block copolymer imports, according to a document obtained by ICIS on Thursday.

The final ADD recommendations on the material with HS code 3902.30.90 are still subject to approval by relevant authorities, with no timeline for implementation, as yet.

Market participants expect a final decision to be announced in the next one to two months.

The final ADDs suggested for imports from South Korea range from 7.17% to 19.58%, down from previously proposed rates of up to 82.83%, according to the document.

For imports from Vietnam, the UAE, Malaysia and Singapore, the recommended rates are 11.40%, 21.02%, 13.45-29.01%, and 11.60-13.06%, respectively.

KADI initiated the antidumping investigation on PP block copolymer resins imports in 2023, following a request from Indonesian PP producer Chandra Asri.

PP block copolymer is widely used in packaging, automotive parts, electronic devices and other goods that require enhanced toughness and flexibility.
