Brazilian government postpones decision on anti-dumping measures for powdered milk.

THE Executive Management Committee (Gecex) from the Foreign Trade Chamber (Camex) published, the day before (8), a resolution postponing the application of antidumping duty definitive for imports of powdered milk of Brazilwhole or skimmed milk, coming from Argentina and of Uruguay. 

Despite being approved, the agency justifies that the implementation of the rule will be done after an evaluation of the "public interest," as well as the effect on the economy generated by the possible increase in the price of the derivative. The government also cites the risk to supply and food security as arguments for postponing the decision. 

The manufacturing sector disputes the government's justifications, and currently, imports remain exempt from tariffs.
