Japanese government makes a preliminary determination in its anti-dumping duty investigation regarding dipotassium carbonate
The Japanese Ministry of Finance (MOF) published a report issued by the Council on Customs, Tariff, Foreign Exchange and other Transactions stating that it would be appropriate to impose a 30.8% anti-dumping duty on dipotassium carbonate originating in South Korea.

A 30.8% anti-dumping duty will be levied in addition to the 3.9% WTO tariff rate for four months — from the day following the publication of the cabinet ordinance on March 24 (from March 25) until July 24. Dipotassium carbonate, generally in the form of a white powder, is mainly used in glass (including liquid crystal panels) and as a food additive in lye water used to make ramen noodles and other products. In 2019, Japan imported a total of 6,565 tons of dipotassium carbonate, of which South Korea accounted for 80.5% (5,293 tons). Sales by domestic producers AGC Inc. and Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. dropped 16% from 2018 to 2019. As a result, an industry group formed by the two companies applied for the imposition of an anti-dumping duty on April 30, 2020. The MOF and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) initiated an investigation in response on June 29, 2020. After providing opportunities for interested parties, including a Korean supplier, to present evidence and express their views, the Japanese government made a preliminary determination presuming both that dumped products were imported and that domestic industry had been materially injured as a consequence on February 25, 2021.
