China Renews AD Duties on Hydroiodic Acid From US, Japan

China this week renewed antidumping duties on imports of hydroiodic acid from the U.S. and Japan for five years after finding that lifting the tariffs could “damage” China's domestic industry, according to an unofficial translation of a Ministry of Commerce notice. The renewed AD measures, effective Oct. 16, include a 41.1% rate for Japanese companies and a 123.4% rate for American companies. China said the acid has various manufacturing uses, including for integrated circuits.
