The General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) announced that the Permanent Committee for Combating Harmful Practices in International Trade has decided to initiate a final review investigation into anti-dumping duties on GCC imports of unground cement clinker originating from or exported by Iran.

These measures are in accordance with the Unified Law for Anti-Dumping, Countervailing, and Safeguard Measures of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and its executive regulations, said Director General of the Technical Secretariat Office at the GCC General Secretariat, Faisal bin Abdullah Al-Muhaideb.

He pointed out that the GCC Permanent Committee for Combating Harmful Practices in International Trade had decided to accept the complaint and initiate investigation procedures.

In May 2020, the Ministerial Committee for Industry Ministers of the GCC decided to impose final anti-dumping duties for five years on GCC imports of hydraulic cement of all types, including unground clinker, whether colored or not, originating from Iran.
