# The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa, ITAC has recommended increasing the anti-dumping duty on plastic feedstock polymers, known as P-E-T, and imported from China, to 43.77-percent. PET is a chemical polymer used extensively to manufacture everyday plastic items, most notably clear beverage bottles and food containers. South African polymer producer Safripol applied for a review and higher tariff, as well as proving that the previous 28.89-percent tariff was ineffective and could harm the local industry.
