India Imposes Five-Year Anti-Dumping Duty on Chinese, Japanese Chemical

The Indian government places a tariff of up to USD 986 per tonne on Trichloro isocyanuric acid when imported from China and Japan. This duty remains active for five years to defend domestic producers against cheap imports that injure their operations.

The DGTR found that Indian producers experienced harm from dumped goods from China and Japan so the Finance Ministry imposed this duty. DVTR conducted thorough market research for the Ministry of Commerce to support their duty recommendation.

The World Trade Organization allows WTO member nations to use anti-dumping measures to fairly protect their business interests. Through these policies, they defend local manufacturers from foreign competition by stopping discount selling and controlling import limits. The duty will not affect India’s trade deals with China because China remains an important trading partner. It also does not change how India trades with Japan because Japan maintains its status.
