The industry has also requested to extend anti-dumping duty. MOFCOM may extend the anti-dumping duty if such imports are alleged to causing damage to Chinese industries.

According to reports, the review will cover the timeframe between 1 Jan 2014 to 31 December 2014. Anti-dumping duty on polyamide-6 chips originating from US, EU, Russia and Chinese Taiwan will continue during time of the review as per the rate applicable on products stipulated in MOFCOM’s list No. 15 Announcement in 2010.
