India Enforces Anti-Dumping Duty on Chemical Imports from China, EU, US

India has imposed an anti-dumping duty on a chemical used in the rubber and tyre industries, imported from China, the European Union, and the United States. This duty will be effective for 5 years, following a recommendation from the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR). 

Details of the Anti-Dumping Duty 

According to a notification from the finance ministry dated June 19, 2026, the anti-dumping duty ranges from $75 to $1,748 per tonne. The DGTR recommended this duty on 'Sulphenamides Accelerators' imports, as they have been sold below normal value in Indian markets, causing dumping and material injury to domestic industries. 

Additional Anti-Dumping Measures 

In addition to the chemical imports, India has extended the anti-dumping duty on 'Aluminium Foil' imported from China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. This duty will remain in effect until December 15, 2026, as per a separate notification from the department of revenue.

Further Anti-Dumping Actions 

Furthermore, India has imposed a $200.66 per tonne anti-dumping duty on 'Polyethylene Terephthalate resin' with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.72 decilitres per gram or higher, imported from China. This duty will also be effective for 5 years. 

Purpose of Anti-Dumping Probes 

Countries conduct anti-dumping probes to assess whether domestic industries are adversely affected by an influx of cheap imports. These duties are imposed under the multilateral regime of the World Trade Organization (WTO) to ensure fair trading practices and create a level playing field for domestic producers against foreign producers and exporters. 

Conclusion 

India's imposition of anti-dumping duties on chemical imports from China, the EU, and the US ranges from $75 to $1,748 per tonne, effective for 5 years. The duties aim to counteract dumping and protect domestic industries.
