Trade Remedy Digest — 2026-10-15

Summary

Today's chemical-relevant trade remedy activity centers on Turkey's final anti-dumping duties on Chinese sodium gluconate (a key chelating agent/industrial chemical) and Vietnam's sunset-review continuation of anti-dumping duties on polyester filament yarn from China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia. Australia also imposed provisional anti-dumping/countervailing duties on Chinese aluminium windows and doors, while US actions on mattresses and truck bed covers are non-chemical and excluded. Procurement readers sourcing sodium gluconate from China into Turkey or polyester filament yarn into Vietnam should expect continued duty-inclusive landed costs.
