The publication of Secex Circular No. 39 initiated an anti-dumping investigation into exports from China to Brazil of fiber optic cables, classified under subitem 9001.10.11 of the Mercosur Common Nomenclature (NCM).
Fiber optic cables are used in telecommunications networks for transferring data, sounds and images, in long-distance communication networks, metropolitan networks, third-party and internal access networks.
Prysmian Cabos e Sistemas do Brasil S.A. submitted the petition.
The analysis of evidence of dumping considered the period from January 2022 to December 2023. The analysis of injury considered the period from January 2019 to December 2023.
The absolute and relative dumping margins found for China have not been publicized.
Interested parties will be able to cooperate with the investigation and/or review mentioned above by providing data to fill in the Exporter, Importer or other National Producer Questionnaires within 30 days (extendable for another 30 days) from the date that they become aware of the investigation, in order to defend their interests and possibly benefit from any individual anti-dumping margin, which is generally lower than the margin calculated based on the information available. Other potential interested parties who did not receive questionnaires may request their participation in the process by August 26, 2024 (20-day deadline).
