China's Ministry of Commerce has officially announced a tentative decision on anti-dumping measures for styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) imported from Japan, Korea, and Russia.

ZEON Corporation will insist on the Company's legitimacy at the on-site investigation conducted by Chinese authorities for the official decision scheduled in September.

It is ZEON Corporation's view that its SBR exports to China account for only a small portion of the total SBR sales volume and thus have little influence on profits.
