India Imposes Five-Year Anti-Dumping Duties on Chemicals and Aluminium Imports
India has imposed a five-year anti-dumping duty on 'Sulphenamides Accelerators,' a chemical used in rubber and tyre industries, imported from China, the European Union, and the US. The duty ranges from USD 75 to USD 1,748 per tonne, following a recommendation by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies due to dumping concerns harming domestic producers. Additionally, India extended anti-dumping duties on aluminium foil imports from several Asian countries until December 15 and imposed a duty on polyethylene terephthalate resin from China for five years.
