Inmax Holding’s Short-term Business in Adversity Due to Increased Antidumping Duty

2015-08-14
The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined to impose a 39.35% antidumping duty on Inmax Holding’s steel nails, putting the company’s short-term business into an adverse situation. The company is trying to understand the situation before figuring out a plan B. However, as 70% of its revenue comes from the U.S. market, in the short term its business will face substantial fluctuations due to corporate business adjustment, delaying the efficacy of its newly added capacity.
Inmax Holding Co. Ltd is the largest nail gun maker in Malaysia. Affected by the antidumping/countervailing investigation on specific steel nails originating in 7 countries, its revenue lacks growth momentum. Although the U.S. Department of Commerce only imposed 2.14% antidumping duty on the company initially, however, the Commerce later increased the tax to 39.53%. The large gap between the initial and following duties has put uncertainty into the company’s business for this year.
