Japan Starts Expiry Review on AD Duties on Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide From China

Japan initiated an expiry review of its antidumping duties on electrolytic manganese dioxide from China, the Ministry of Finance announced in a March 8 notice. Finance, along with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, launched the review after receiving a petition from Tosoh Hyuga Corp. and Tosoh Corp. The review will take one year during which the ministries will make a decision on whether to extend the duties, currently ranging from 34.3% to 46.5%, based on the likelihood of dumping recurring if the duty orders expire.
