Morocco Hits Egyptian PVC with 92% Anti-Dumping Tax

4 February 2026 – bySaid · 1 min read

On Tuesday, Morocco introduced definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of PVC from Egypt for a period of five years. The fiscal measure, which follows an investigation into unfair competition, imposes prohibitive rates of up to 92.19%.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade approved the tariff lock on Egyptian Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). Entering into force on 3 February 2026 through a joint order with the Ministry of Finance, the measure sets drastic anti-dumping duties to protect the domestic industry. The rate is set at 74.87% for Egyptian Petrochemicals Company and rises to 92.19% for other exporters.

This decision confirms the findings of an in-depth investigation conducted by the services of Ryad Mezzour. The investigation uncovered evidence deemed “conclusive”: a suspicious surge in import volumes and persistent price undercutting that caused material injury to Morocco’s plastics industry.

This definitive taxation follows a four-month provisional phase launched in June 2025. The authorities also ordered customs services to definitively recover the amounts deposited during this transitional period, including the applicable VAT.
