AIThe General Authority for Foreign Trade has announced the launch of an anti-dumping investigation into Saudi imports of multi-ply carton board with a grey back and a white or colored front, weighing between 180 and 500 grams per square meter, originating in or exported from India and China.
The authority explained that the decision to begin the investigation is based on the Trade Remedies Law in International Trade, issued on November 23, 2022, which assigns the authority responsibility for trade remedies, including conducting investigations and reviews and imposing measures in line with Saudi Arabia’s international commitments, particularly the Anti-Dumping Agreement, the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and the Safeguards Agreement.
The purpose of this law is to protect local industry from harm caused by dumped or subsidized imports, as well as to guard against import surges and defend Saudi exports that may face trade remedy actions abroad.
