China's Ministry of Commerce (MOC) recently announced it would extend anti-dumping investigations over pyridine imports from Japan and India.

The one-year investigations were launched on Sept. 21, 2012, but the MOC decided to extend the deadline by two months to Nov. 21 of this year, due to the "special and complex conditions of the case," said a statement on the MOC website.

Investigation authorities are to examine whether and to what extent such imports hurt the Chinese pyridine industry.

Pyridine is an organic compound used as an important raw material and solvent in the production of pesticides, drugs, animal feed, food additives and other chemicals.
