AsianFin -- On Tuesday, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced it will implement temporary anti-dumping measures on halogenated butyl rubber imported from Canada and Japan.

Starting on August 14, importers of the product will be required to pay a deposit. This decision follows a preliminary investigation by Chinese authorities, which concluded that the product from these countries was being dumped—or sold below fair market value—and that this practice has caused "substantial harm" to China's domestic halogenated butyl rubber industry.
