Pakistan sets provisional 9.03% anti-dumping duty on Chinese aluminium foil

Pakistan's National Tariff Commission issued a preliminary anti-dumping ruling on 21 October 2026 against composite aluminium foil, covering cold-forming and tropical foil types, originating in or imported from China. The provisional duty of 9.03% took effect immediately and applies for four months, with a final determination due within 180 days of the preliminary ruling.

Why this mattersA duty on cold-forming aluminium foil raises costs for pharmaceutical blister-pack converters sourcing from China into Pakistan, and may redirect Chinese export volumes elsewhere.

• Provisional anti-dumping duty of 9.03% applies to composite aluminium foil (cold-forming and tropical foil) from China under Pakistan tariff codes 7607.1990 and 7607.2000.
• The ruling, case ADC76, was published on 21 October 2026 and took effect the same day.
• The provisional measure runs for four months pending a final determination.
• A final ruling is expected within 180 days of the preliminary decision.
• The investigation, launched 23 July 2026, covers a dumping period of 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 and an injury period of 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2026.
