KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 (Bernama) — On 1 July 2019, the Government of Malaysia received a petition from UAC Berhad, a domestic producer requesting for an anti-dumping investigation on imports of Cellulose Fibre Reinforced Cement Flat and Pattern Sheet or Fibre Cement Board (FCB). The Petitioner alleged that imports of FCB originating in or exported from the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesia) are being dumped into Malaysia at a price much lower than their domestic selling price.
The Petitioner further claimed that dumped imports of FCB from the alleged country have increased in terms of absolute quantity and have caused material injury to the domestic industry in Malaysia producing the like product. The Government has considered the prima facie evidence of dumping, injury and causal link and decided to initiate an anti-dumping investigation on imports of FCB from the alleged country.
