China Begins Anti-Subsidy Investigation Into US PVC Products

China began an anti-subsidy investigation into imports of U.S. polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products, China's Ministry of Commerce said in an Oct. 14 notice, according to an unofficial translation. China said it expects to complete the investigation before Oct. 14, 2021, but may extend it another six months if “special circumstances” warrant it. China last month began an antidumping investigation into U.S. PVC products (see 2009250012).
