Beijing, China -- An announcement on China's Ministry of Commerce website says "China will continue to impose anti-dumping measures on styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) imported from Russia, Japan and Republic of Korea, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on its website Monday. "
The report is reprinted from State News Agency Xinhua, but appears to be genuine.
The anti-dumping measures will be effective for five years, starting from Sept. 8, the statement said.
The statement said China decided to take the anti-dumping measures after a one-year review, as dumping of SBR could continue otherwise, and could damage the domestic industry.
China began levying anti-dumping taxes from zero percent to 38 percent for five years on imports of SBR produced in Russia, Japan and Republic of Korea in September of 2003.
