AD Duty-rate Succession for Imported Copolymer POM

China Macro Group | policy · business · strategy 

What it is 
MOFCOM confirmed duty-rate succession under China’s existing anti-dumping measures on imported copolymer POM from South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia. Daicel HPP Malaysia inherits Polyplastics Asia Pacific’s 8.0% anti-dumping duty rate, while Kolon Industries inherits Kolon ENP’s 6.2% rate. Exports made under the old company names will instead face the higher “other company” duty rates.

Why it matters 
This is mainly a technical trade-remedy continuity decision, not a new investigation. It preserves existing anti-dumping treatment after corporate restructuring/name succession.

Implications to Swiss business
Low overall, but exposure can rise for Swiss manufacturers in China, or Swiss firms supplying into China-based production chains, that rely on POM or engineering-plastic components sourced through South Korean, Thai, or Malaysian channels.
