On April 30, 2026, the National Tariff Commission of Pakistan (NTC) announced the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation concerning BOPP self-adhesive tape jumbo rolls originating in and/or imported from Vietnam.
The products under investigation are Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) Self-Adhesive Tapes in jumbo roll form.
According to the initiation notice, the investigated products are classified under Pakistan customs tariff codes 3919.9010 and 3919.9090.
The petitioners in the case are Universal Coating Films (Pvt.) Limited and Tri-Pack Films Limited, both headquartered in Karachi, Pakistan. The two companies filed the petition requesting the investigation on March 24, 2026.
The NTC officially initiated the investigation on April 30, 2026. The dumping investigation period covers January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, while the injury investigation period spans from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025.
According to the petition, the petitioners allege that BOPP self-adhesive tape jumbo rolls imported from Vietnam were sold in the Pakistani market at prices lower than their normal value, thereby causing or threatening to cause material injury to the domestic industry in Pakistan.
