Present duties, ranging from $1.04/kg to $8.86/kg, will be in force until late November
New Delhi – The Indian ministry of commerce has launched a sunset review of import duties on fluoroelastomers (FKM) from China.
The original anti-dumping duties were imposed in January 2019 and will be in force until 27 November, said the directorate general of trade remedies (DGTR) 16 June.
According to DGTR, the current rates range from $1.04/kg to $8.86/kg.
The dumping investigation period for the review is 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, and the injury investigation period is from 2021 to 2024.
The investigations were launched following a complaint by India’s sole FKM supplier Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd.
The trade authority said Gujarat Fluorochemicals had provided data on capacity expansion in China, decline in demand in the country as well as "third country" measures which made India an attractive export destination.
The data, it said, “shows likelihood of continuation of dumping from the subject country and the consequent injury to the domestic industry in case of cessation of the anti-dumping duties.”
