THE TARIFF Commission (TC) has ordered the imposition of anti-dumping duties on standard gypsum board imports from Thailand for five years due to its negative impact on the domestic industry.

"During the period of investigation for dumping determination from January 2022 to May 2023, there was dumping of standard gypsum board from Thailand," the TC said in a report dated May 30.

In line with this, the TC ordered the imposition of antidumping duties on imports of Thai standard gypsum board, particularly those classified under ASEAN Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature 2022 subheading 6809.11.00, for a period of five years.

According to the report, an anti-dumping duty of 8.52% of the export price will be imposed on gypsum boards from Gypsum Tech Co. Ltd., while a duty of 9.18% of the export price will be imposed on imports from Thai Gypsum Products PCL and other exporters from Thailand.

The duties were based on the computed dumping margins, which ranged from $0.01301 to $0.01624 per kilogram.
