Brazil sets five-year anti-dumping duties on PET resin from Vietnam and Malaysia

Brazil's Chamber of Foreign Trade has concluded an anti-dumping probe and imposed definitive five-year duties on PET resin imports from Vietnam and Malaysia. Vietnamese exporters face USD 160.87 per tonne, while Malaysian exporters face USD 24.28 per tonne for one named company and USD 116.50 per tonne for others. The case was brought by domestic producers Indorama Ventures Polímeros and Alpek Polyester Pernambuco.

Why this mattersHigher landed costs for imported PET resin raise input costs for Brazilian bottle and rigid-packaging converters and support domestic resin producers' pricing.
