Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has warned that Chinese aluminum foil exports could increasingly target the Taiwanese market, as growing global trade restrictions limit China’s access to other overseas outlets.

China's substantial production surplus and established sales channels in Taiwan have raised concerns about renewed import competition. Local manufacturers remain vulnerable, with weak demand and limited recovery despite a decline in Chinese shipments under existing anti-dumping (AD) measures.

These conditions contributed to the MOEA's November 9 finding that domestic industry injury could continue or recur if the duties were removed.

The assessment forms part of a five-year sunset review rather than a decision to extend the tariffs. The Ministry of Finance will examine the findings and submit the case to its tariff rate committee for further consideration.

The existing measures remain subject to the final review outcome.
