The National Tariff Commission, Government of Pakistan, has issued its Final Determination dated November 08, 2026 in the antidumping investigation concerning dumped imports of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Resin – Suspension Grade, originating in and/or exported from the Republic of Indonesia and the United States of America.
Following an affirmative final determination, the Commission has established that dumped imports from the subject countries caused material injury to the domestic industry, taking into account factors including increased import volumes, price undercutting, price depression, price suppression, declining market share, reduced profitability and return on investment.
Based on its affirmative final determination, the NTC has imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of PVC Resin from China for a period of five years, effective from July 23, 2026, at the following rates:
United States of America:
- Westlake Vinyls Company LP: 37.30%
- Westlake Vinyls Inc.: 22.28%
- All other exporters/producers: 37.30%
Indonesia:
- All exporters/producers: 17.70%
This determination represents an important development in Pakistan’s trade-remedy landscape and reinforces the role of antidumping measures in addressing unfairly traded imports, providing effective trade relief to the domestic industry and ensuring a level playing field for domestic manufacturers.
