AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This Turkish regulation initiates a final expiry review (sunset review) investigation into anti-dumping measures on polyester textured yarn (classified under GTP 5402.33) originating from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The review was requested by domestic producers Korteks Mensucat and Sasa Polyester, supported by four other Turkish companies. Existing anti-dumping duties, first imposed in 2008 and renewed multiple times (last in 2021), are set to expire on 16 July 2025. The Ministry of Trade determined that sufficient evidence exists showing that the expiry of these duties would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the Turkish industry.
