Antidumping Proceedings – Cotton fabrics from China

Through Resolution 662/2024, the Ministry of Economy opened a sunset review due to the expiration of the term of the antidumping measures on exports from China to Argentina.

The goods involved are "fabrics of cotton, containing eighty-five percent (85%) per cent (85%) by weight or more and fabrics of cotton, containing less than eighty-five per cent (85%) by weight, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, weighing more than two hundred (200) grams per square metre, with yarns of different colors and twill weave, weighing more than four (4) and other woven fabrics of cotton, containing eighty-five percent (85%) percent (85%) or more by weight and of cotton, containing less than eighty-five percent (85%) by weight, with elastomers, weighing more than two hundred (200) grams per square metre but not more than four hundred and ten (410) grams per square metre," classified under Mercosur Customs Tariff Codes (NCM) 5209,49,00 and 5211,49,00.

It was the Chamber of Producers of denim, corduroy, and related products, and the company Vicunha Argentina SA that requested the opening of the sunset review.

So far, authorities have determined the inexistence of a dumping margin in exports from China to Argentina. Nevertheless, the authorities estimated a dumping margin of 16.23%, considering exports to Brazil as a third market country.

The Resolution establishes that the review will be carried out without applying antidumping measures.
