Morocco to apply anti-dumping measures on electric ovens- media

Morocco’s industry and trade ministry has found that the electric oven’s market is marred by dumping and plans to impose import duty of up to 62%, Moroccan media reported.

Citing unnamed ministry sources, le360 said the dumping rate was as high as 74% in the electric oven’s market.

Ovens by Turkey’s ITIMAT will be subjected to an anti-dumping rate of 34%, as Morocco and Turkey have signed an FTA.

The dumping of the local market has ditches prices and undermined Moroccan manufacturers, according to a study cited by the media.

The study was conducted following complaints filed by Moroccan household appliances manufacturers, Sultangaz and Deha Electromenager.

Morocco and Turkey introduced amendments to the FTA in 2020, following complaints by Morocco’s textile industry of anti-competition practices.
