On 25 June 2014, Department of Trade Remedies of Brazil (DECOM) terminated a subsidy and countervailing duty investigation on acrylic yarn from Indonesia. This investigation was initiatedon 26 December 2012 based on a petition by Paramount Textiles Industry e Comercio SA.

Merchandise covered under the scope of these investigations was textile yarn with predominantly acrylic fibers, single-mode, woven linen (formed by two or more wires or "cables" twisted together), with or without other fiber types as there is a predominance of acrylic fibers, raw or finished (dyed or bleached) which are commonly classified under tariff positions 5509.31.00, 5509.32.00, 5509.61.00, 5509.62.00 and 55.09.69.00 of the MERCOSUR Common Nomenclature (NCM / HS).
