The purified terephthalic acid industry of the Chinese Mainland petitioned for a final review on the anti-dumping measures against imported purified terephthalic acid from ROK and Thailand on June 10, 2015, and for continuing implement of the anti-dumping measures. The Ministry of Commerce decided to start the final review because the petition accorded with the condition for case filing. According to the Regulations on Anti-Dumping of the People’s Republic of China, if the review determines that the termination of anti-dumping duties may result in the continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury, the time limit for the levy of the anti-dumping duties may be reasonably extended.
