Ukrainian court dismisses claim to cancel anti-dumping duties 14 January 2021
Ukraine’s District Administrative Court of Kyiv has reportedly dismissed the claim of the managing company of Belarusian Cement Co and its local importers regarding the cancellation of anti-dumping duties on cement imports into Ukraine, established by the Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade in May 2019.
The news was reported by the Ilyashev & Partners Law Firm, which represents the interests of third parties in the case. The court recognised the need to protect the violated rights of national cement producers in Ukraine from dumping imports of goods to Ukraine, which were allowed to cement producers of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Moldova and caused significant damage to national producers, said the firm.
