Brazil's Antidumping Investigation on Milk Powder Imports Continues

The Brazilian probe into alleged dumping of milk powder imports from Argentina and Uruguay is still active, contradicting reports suggesting its conclusion. The Brazilian Ministry's Secretariat of Foreign Trade has decided not to impose provisional antidumping duties for now. The investigation, initiated by Brazil's Confederação da Agricultura e Pecuária, will make a final determination by November 10, 2025. Concerns center around the definition of 'similar products,' with industry bodies like ABIQ and ABIA questioning the inclusion of fresh milk as a comparable product to imported milk powder. The process still progresses as parties await the conclusion of evidential phases. This ongoing case is crucial for the bilateral trade dynamics and Mercosur's stability, greatly affecting dairy producers in Argentina and Uruguay.
