MITI ends probe into imported ceramic tiles

MITI said there had been no increase in imports of the ceramic floor and wall tiles under investigation in absolute terms.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government had on Monday terminated the safeguard investigation on imports of ceramic floor and wall tiles that it had initiated based on a petition filed by the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers - Malaysian Ceramic Industry Group.

The petitioner had claimed that the increase in imports of ceramic floor and wall tile products in absolute terms and relative to domestic production from 2017 to 2019 had caused serious injury to the relevant domestic industry in Malaysia.
