Pakistan sets provisional anti-dumping duty on Chinese Alu Alu foil

Pakistan's National Tariff Commission issued an affirmative preliminary determination on 21 October 2026 in its anti-dumping investigation into Chinese Alu Alu Foil, imposing a provisional duty of 9.03% effective immediately for four months. The foil, used for pharmaceutical cold-forming and tropical packaging, is classified under Pakistani tariff codes 7607.1990 and 7607.2000. A final ruling is expected within 180 days of the preliminary decision.
