Egypt to keep imposing anti-dumping duties on Chinese synthetic fiber blankets

The Trade and Industry Ministry will keep in place 55-74% anti-dumping duties on synthetic fiber blankets imported from China until August 2025, according to a ministry statement (pdf). The five-year renewal came after members of the Federation of Egyptian Industries requested the ministry refrain from lifting the tariffs, saying that doing so would result in the products being dumped in the Egyptian market again. The ministry will also launch a probe to impose protective tariffs on Turkish synthetic carpets, it said yesterday.
