As stated in the announcement in the Uriadovy Kurier newspaper on November 21, the decision of the commission under an application of Karpatnaftokhim LLC (Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk region) was made on November 20.

This decision came into force on June 8, was suspended by the District Administrative Court of Kyiv on June 10 in the form of an interim measure under a claim of Subos-Techno LLC, and now the ICMT canceled it. The plaintiff said that initially the investigation was initiated under two commodity codes of the Ukrainian tariff headings, and the special duty was introduced under three codes, of which only one coincides with the original two. Subos-Techno also claimed that the PVC of the KSR-67 brands (for the production of rigid, semi-rigid and plasticized PVC, pipes, profiles, films, sheets) and KSF-70 (for the production of plasticized films, profiles, insulation, injection molded parts) are also different from those imported on the market.
