China has imposed anti dumping duty on imports of Phenol from the US, Europe, South Korea, Japan and Thailand. The Chinese ministry of commerce announced on Monday the preliminary results of ADD probe which started on March 2018. The release of the probe’s preliminary results had been delayed by the 90-day US-China trade war truce from early December 2018. Market players expect China's ADDs on phenol imports to be finalized in November. China conducted the probe on the petition of domestic producers, including PetroChina Jilin Petrochemical, Changshu Changchun, CEPSA Shanghai, Sinopec Mitsui Chemicals, Bluestar Harbin Petrochemical, Yangzhou Shiyou and Huizhou Zhongxin.
