China to maintain anti-dumping duties on US, S.Korea, EU rubber imports

China's commerce ministry announced it will maintain anti-dumping duties on rubber imports from the US, South Korea, and the EU. The duties, ranging from 12.5% to 222%, target ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene rubber used in construction, wires, and the auto industry. Notably, Dow Chemical faces a 222% duty, while Exxon Mobil faces a 214.9% duty. This decision comes as China begins expiry reviews of the measures initially imposed five years ago.
