Australia's Customs and Border Protection Service is investigating allegations that North American manufacturers dumped linear low density polyethylene into the Australian market.
The investigation began after Australia's sole LLDPE maker, Qenos Pty. Ltd. of Melbourne, asked customs officials to levy a dumping duty on Canadian and U.S. manufacturers.
Customs' initial investigation agreed with the Qenos claim, and inspectors were in the process of completing a statement of essential facts for the continuing formal investigation.
Parties were invited to comment within 20 days of the statement's public release.
