Mexico’s economy secretariat, SE, has imposed a provisional countervailing duty of 43.17 percent on the imports of ferrosilicon manganese from India, following a request from local producer Minera Autlan.
At the same time it applied a provisional duty on the Indian imports of the product, SE said it will continue investigating such imports.
SE explained the provisional duties should be added to any other existing duty already applied to the product, be it a provisional or a definite levy.
Companies affected by the resolution have 20 working days from the effective publication of SE’s decision (March 29) to present their arguments.
The product subject to the provisional import duty currently falls under the Customs Tariff Statistics Position Number 7202.30.01.
