China Stone Dumping: Taiwan

Complaints over low-cost stone from China may be standard fare in Europe and North America, but a new set of protests came from much closer to the source in March.
The China News Agency reported that marble manufacturers in Taiwan are grumbling about cheap Chinese semi-finished marble products, with the low prices putting domestic producers in financial jeopardy.
The Taiwan Marble Association asked a member of the Taiwanese government to offer a petition on the matter, citing Taiwan’s customs officials in a failure to stop the Chinese imports. Taiwanese law allows importation of rough marble blocks, but bans semi-finished products.
The Chinese products may be entering Taiwan through third countries, according to the legislator, making detection difficult.
