According to the Announcement, during the investigation period, dumping of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether originating in the U.S. and the E.U. exists and causes material injury to China's domestic photographic paper and paper board industry, and there is a causal link between the dumping and material injury.

Starting from July 28, 2012, importers of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether from the two sources shall pay deposit at Chinese Customs, depending on the dumping margin of each producer decided in the initial ruling.
