Morocco Launches Anti-Dumping Probe into Chinese LED Lighting Imports

In a notice published on August 28, the ministry stated that this anti-dumping investigation on these products will be opened as of September 2. It follows the examination of a request from the Moroccan company Lux Lighting, which produces 82% of LED lighting fixtures for public lighting in Morocco, in which it requests the application of anti-dumping measures on these products from China.

"The data from the request show that the calculated dumping margin is high and largely exceeds the de minimis level of 2%," explains the department of Ryad Mezzour, adding that imports of LED lighting fixtures for public lighting originating from China are damaging domestic production, "particularly in terms of quantities sold, market share and profits of the national industry".

This anti-dumping investigation will cover dumping practices between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024, and could extend until December 31, 2024. "Provisional measures may be imposed if the conditions are met, based on a preliminary report of the investigation," it is specified.
