Lawyer Zhang Yi, a partner of Gaopeng Institute, and his team achieved a complete victory in the anti-dumping and countervailing case against China's acrylic fiber industry

2019 01/16

On January 14,2019,the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Türkiye announced the final verdict of anti-dumping and countervailing measures against China's acrylic fiber.In this case,Lawyer Zhang Yi,senior partner of our trading team,represented the China International Chamber of Commerce(CCPIT),China Chemical Fiber Industry Association,and China's largest export enterprise(Jilin Chemical Fiber Group)to conduct industry wide non harm defense and enterprise independent dumping/subsidy defense.In the final determination,our firm successfully terminated this case for the above-mentioned customer without imposing any double anti tax rates,and successfully saved and opened up tens of millions of dollars in the world's important export market for the customer.

In this case,our lawyer Zhang Yi led a team of lawyers and Türkiye's partner lawyers to actively defend the case,and then submitted a large number of data and supporting materials.At the same time,with the strong support of the competent department of the Ministry of Commerce of China,we negotiated with the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Türkiye,In the end,the prosecution of Türkiye was forced to withdraw its lawsuit(even if it insisted on not withdrawing the lawsuit,it would be lost in the final ruling)because its evidence materials could not support its claim that the damage was caused by China's export of acrylic fibers and could not refute our defense opinions and evidence.

This case is also the second anti subsidy case ever filed by the Türkiye government against Chinese products.Our lawyer Zhang Yi once responded to the lawsuit on behalf of China's largest export enterprise in the first seamless steel pipe anti subsidy case filed by Türkiye against China in 2016 and obtained the result of zero anti subsidy tax rate.This case is a typical case in which the Chinese chemical fiber industry has achieved complete success in responding to foreign trade barrier cases such as anti-dumping,countervailing,and safeguard measures.Especially in the recent adverse situation where various countries around the world have vigorously pursued trade protection to suppress China's export trade,achieving such a result is indeed not easy.
