China Extends Anti-Dumping Duties on Indian Optical Fibre Imports for Five Years

China Extends Anti-Dumping Duties on Indian Optical Fibre Imports for Five YearsPreviousNext

China will maintain anti-dumping duties on Indian single-mode optical fibre imports for another five years starting this Friday, according to its commerce ministry. The decision follows a sunset review that found ending the duties could lead to continued dumping and harm China's domestic industry. Tax rates, ranging from 7.4% to 30.6% depending on the exporter, will remain unchanged. These duties were first imposed in 2014 and extended in 2020.
