China launches anti-dumping probe into EU-origin p-Nitrotoluene
商务部：对原产于欧盟的进口对硝基甲苯发起反倾销立案调查
China's Ministry of Commerce announced on October 3, 2026, the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation into imports of p-Nitrotoluene (PNT) originating from the European Union. The probe follows a petition filed on September 14 by two domestic producers, Jiangsu Huaihe Chemical and Hubei Dongfang Chemical, on behalf of the Chinese industry. The investigation period for dumping is set from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with the injury examination period covering January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2026.
