China imposes steep anti-dumping duties on Japanese chipmaking chemical

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

China has announced preliminary anti-dumping duties of up to 99.2% on Japanese dichlorosilane, a crucial chemical used in semiconductor manufacturing. This decision follows an eight-month investigation by the Ministry of Commerce, which concluded that dumped imports from Japan had harmed domestic producers. The duties, effective immediately, will require importers to pay cash deposits, with Denal Silane facing a lower rate of 80.8% and other Japanese companies, including Shin-Etsu Chemical, facing the maximum rate.
