China's commerce ministry has announced preliminary anti-dumping measures on imports of dichlorosilane, a key semiconductor manufacturing chemical, from Japan. Duties range from 80.8% to 99.2% for specific producers.
The imposition of these tariffs signals deepening trade friction between China and Japan in strategic technology sectors, potentially disrupting the global semiconductor supply chain and increasing costs for chip manufacturers.
China's commerce ministry has announced preliminary anti-dumping measures on imports of dichlorosilane, a chemical compound essential for semiconductor manufacturing, originating from Japan. Effective Tuesday, importers will be required to provide cash deposits to customs. The duties are set at 99.2% for Shin-Etsu Chemical and other Japanese producers, and 80.8% for Denal Silane. This action follows an investigation by the ministry into alleged dumping practices and could impact the global semiconductor supply chain, potentially affecting the cost and availability of advanced electronics.
