The Moroccan warehouse regime continues its political extravagances towards the Arab brothers, and this time its provocation reaches its big sister, Egypt, where the Moroccan authorities recently decided to impose new duties on Egyptian exports to the Kingdom in a scene that observers interpret as a result of the ties of friendship linking Algeria and Egypt, which the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, recently expressed in brotherly terms towards the Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, during the regular meeting held by the Algerian president with representatives of the national media.
The Moroccan government recently decided to impose final anti-dumping duties on imports of PVC plastic “PVC” Of Egyptian origin for a period of 5 years, months after a similar temporary fee was imposed on these imports after they were “proven to be harmful” to the Moroccan economy..
According to a joint decision of the Minister of Industry and Trade and the Minister of Economy and Finance of Morocco, imports of polychloride of Egyptian origin will be subject to a final anti-dumping duty for a period of 5 years, with the exception of imports of polyvinyl chloride produced by emulsion polymerization attached to an invoice bearing an industry sector visa.
The decision confirmed that the amount deposited as a temporary anti-dumping duty will be collected permanently for the benefit of the Moroccan treasury, provided that the requirements of this decision are implemented starting from February 2, 2026, according to the Moroccan “Al-Amaq” website.
It was stated in an appendix to the decision that the dumping margin for the product “Egyptian Petrochemical Company” was determined on the basis of its answers to the investigation form, as it is the only producer and exporter that cooperated in the investigation by providing complete answers, and “therefore, the normal value was determined on the basis of its local sales prices at the stage of leaving the factory, while the export price was determined on the basis of the real prices invoiced to independent Moroccan buyers at the stage of leaving the factory.”“..
On the other hand, due to the lack of cooperation from other producers and exporters, the dumping margin was determined on the basis of the best available answers, and thus the normal value was determined on the basis of weekly price quotes for PVC, provided by the platform. “ChemOrbis” At the stage of leaving the factory.
As for the export price, it was determined on the basis of official statistics issued by the Moroccan Exchange Office, where the weighted average price was calculated and then adjusted to reach the “exit from the factory” stage.“.
In late November, the Moroccan Ministry of Industry and Trade announced the final results of investigations it had opened regarding imports of polyvinyl chloride. “PVC” Of Egyptian origin, confirming the proven practice of dumping with high margins, which caused tangible “material damage” to the Moroccan production sector, according to the words of the Moroccan authorities..
The technical investigations concluded that final dumping margins were variable but very high, which reflects the great price pressure exerted on the Moroccan market. While a dumping margin of 74.87% was set for the “Egyptian Petrochemical Company” as the cooperating producing and exporting company, a higher margin of 92.19% was approved that applies to the rest of the producers and exporters, whether non-cooperating or those not included in the direct audit..
The ministry’s report revealed that “the influx of Egyptian imports has gone beyond being a normal commercial competition,” causing the “stifling” of Moroccan industry, according to the words of the Moroccan authorities, through multiple “negative” manifestations, led by the large increase and intense influx of… “PVC” Egyptian, which significantly reduced the space available for Western products within the market.
Observers express great doubts about the timing of these new Moroccan duties on Egyptian imports, especially since they came after the fraternal statements recently made by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune towards Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi during the regular meeting that the Algerian president recently held with representatives of the national media, to which the Egyptian President responded in fraternal terms as well on his home page on social networking sites.
The Moroccan Makhzen regime expresses repeated political provocations towards Algeria, the most dangerous of which is linking political, military and security relations with the Zionist entity, in addition to the obstacles that the Moroccan regime is trying to place in front of Algerian economic projects with a regional dimension, such as the African natural gas pipeline from Nigeria to Europe.
