Foreign Affairs Ministry claims to be working to eliminate anti-dumping in chicken meat exports

Following South Africa’s announcement of provisional anti-dumping tariffs on bone-in chicken meat imported from Brazil and four other countries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy and Agriculture, stated that it is actively working to make sure that the investigation will be concluded without the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty.

“The Brazilian government has been keeping a close eye on the situation, particularly in regards to the imposition of provisional law, as it is one of the main products of the bilateral trade agenda and, more importantly, due to the lack of elements that justify the measure’s imposition”. On January 15, the Government of Brazil filed a technical note against the report that supported the imposition of a provisional tariff against national exports,” the ministry said in a note sent to Canal Rural.

The ministry also recalled that the tariff imposed by South Africa on Brazilian imports of boneless chicken meat is part of the current anti-dumping investigation, initiated in February 2021, on these products from Brazil, Ireland, Spain, Poland, and Denmark. The anti-dumping duty applied to Brazilian products – of 265.1% – was imposed on December 17, on a provisional basis, as the investigation is still ongoing.
