Brazil Enters Key Stage in Powdered Milk Antidumping Case

Brazil’s investigation into powdered milk imports from Uruguay and Argentina is moving through its final procedural stages. The case concerns antidumping duties that Brazil has kept on hold during the current process.

The evidentiary phase is scheduled to end on October 2. Until that date, the parties may continue submitting material included in the case record, according to the timetable cited by the report.

The deadline for final statements is October 26. Those submissions will represent the parties’ concluding presentations within the procedure described in the source.

Brazil has not resumed collecting the antidumping duties on powdered milk from either Uruguay or Argentina. The suspension applies while the case remains under consideration.

Uruguay and Argentina are seeking a definition from Brazil. They have linked that request to a reduction in commercial uncertainty surrounding trade in the product.

The published information does not specify the level of the duties, the quantities involved, the investigating authority or the date of a final ruling. It identifies October 2 and October 26 as the next stated procedural deadlines.
