Imported clear and bronze float glass from China can now enter the Philippines at cheaper cost following the expiry of the five-year definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by the government against the imported product from China.
The Tariff Commission said the anti-dumping measure on the clear float glass automatically expired last Sept. 6 after a five year implementation. The TC further said they received no request to conduct an expiry review of the measure imposed.
The Bureau of Custom issued Customs Memorandum Circular No. 138-2017 dated 06 September 2017 to implement the Department of Trade and Industry’s Order to collect definitive anti-dumping duties on importations of clear float glass and bronze float glass from the PROC for a period of five years. The anti-dumping duty is exporter specific. In the case of the clear and float glass, the DTI identified Riders Glass Co. Ltd. And Xinyl Group Co. Ltd. among other Chinese exporters for dumping both clear and bronze float glass products into the Philippines.
