Indonesia has gained a victory against antidumping measures imposed by the Australian Customs on Indonesian toilet paper after an Australian review revealed that no indications of dumping were found.
“The Australian Customs has sent us a notification that selected brands of Indonesian and Chinese toilet paper are no longer the subject of temporary antidumping duties,” the Trade Ministry’s director for trade security Ernawati said Wednesday.
Antidumping duties are imposed by a country to help to counter dumping — an act where an exporter sells the bulk of a product in overseas markets at prices below its production costs and/or below what it charges on its home market.
Ernawati said the decision was issued Tuesday by Australia’s Attorney General Robert McClelland after a review process that finished on Dec. 31, 2009 carried out for the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (Customs).
“After the review, there was no proof that damage suffered by Australian manufacturers was the result of exports by Indonesian and Chinese [manufacturers],” she said.
