GUANGZHOU (ICIS)--China will impose a five-year antidumping duty (ADD) on caprolactam (capro) imported from the US and Europe starting from 22 October, the Ministry of Commerce announced on Tuesday.

The country has been implementing provisional ADDs on capro from these origins ranging from 4.3% to 25.5% since 25 January this year.

The move was made after final investigations, which concluded that sellers from the two regions have been dumping capro into China, and Chinese domestic industries were hurt as a result.
