The Korea Trade Commission (KTC) has recommended that the Korean finance ministry impose antidumping duties on Chinese and Taiwanese solid sodium hydroxide imports, citing damage to the domestic industry. The recommended duties range from 3.66 percent to 22.21 percent on three Chinese exporters and 38.89 percent on one Taiwanese exporter.
