Ukraine extends 23.75% duty on import of electric lamps from Kyrgyzstan by five years
KYIV. Sept 1 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine has extended by five years the anti-dumping duty of 23.75% on imports of electric incandescent lamps originating from Kyrgyzstan, which was introduced on July 31, 2015 for a five-year period and was extended on July 28, 2020 for a revision period.
The relevant decision was made by the Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade (ICIT) on August 27, 2021 and published in the Uriadovy Kurier newspaper on Wednesday. The decision comes into force from the date of publication.
The ICIT report states that within the framework of the anti-dumping measures revision initiated at the request of JSC Lviv Electric Lamp Plant Iskra, not a single Kyrgyz manufacturer or exporter of goods showed a desire to cooperate with the Ministry of Economy and registered as an interested party in the revision.
Therefore, the ministry drew conclusions based on the most indicative information at its disposal and found that the level of taken anti-dumping measures was sufficient to prevent dumping imports and harming the national producer.
At the same time, the termination of these measures is likely to lead to a resumption of dumping.
As reported, an anti-dumping duty of 23.75% on general-purpose incandescent lamps with a power of up to 200 W (foreign economic activity code 8539 22 90 10) originated in Kyrgyzstan was introduced at the initiative of the largest Ukrainian manufacturer of electric lamps, the Iskra plant.
The plant in 2020 reduced revenue by 5.2% versus 2019, to UAH 152.83 million, and received a UAH 58.7 million loss versus a net profit of UAH 68.1 million.
Earlier, the Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade indicated that during the study period (2015-2019), Iskra continued to suffer damage, although the import of lamps from Kyrgyzstan was not carried out.
