The MOC will examine the possibility of continuing the measures if the dumping has not ended, the MOC said in a statement on its website.

China's hydrazine hydrate producers filed an application for a reexamination of the anti-dumping measures on April 16, the statement said, adding that the review is expected to be completed within 12 months.

In June 2005, the MOC imposed anti-dumping duties of 28 percent to 184 percent on hydrazine hydrate imports from Japan, Korea, the United States and France for five years.

Hydrazine hydrate is a raw chemical widely used in the production of pesticides, medicines, intermediates, dyestuffs, rocket fuel and explosives.
