India imposes anti-dumping duty on chemical from China

India has imposed an anti-dumping duty of up to $ 0.556 per kg on cheap imports of 'Sodium Tripoly Phosphate' from China for a period of five years.

The chemical is primarily used in industrial cleaning processes and ceramics manufacture.

The Directorate-General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD), a nodal agency under the Commerce Ministry, recommended the imposition of the duty after an investigation. A DGAD probe concluded that the domestic industry had suffered material injury on account of dumping of the product by China.

The duty would range between $ 0.238 per kg and $ 0.556 per kg, it said.
