Government initiates 214 anti-dumping probes against China

19 Jul 2018 Evaluate

The government has initiated as many as 214 anti-dumping probes up to December 2017 against China, with which India has a huge trade deficit. The trade deficit (variance amongst imports and exports) with China has increased to $63.12 billion in 2017-18 from $51 billion in the previous fiscal. 

Minister of State for Commerce and Industry C R Chaudhary has said that the directorate general of trade remedies (DGTR) has initiated a total of 888 anti-dumping investigations against imports from various countries. He also said that these investigations mainly pertain to China, EU, Korea, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, US, Indonesia, Japan and Malaysia.

The minister also pointed out that out of 888 investigations initiated by India, duty has been imposed in 656 against various countries and out of which 167 were from China. He also mentioned that after China, maximum probes were started against EU and Korea (65 each). It was followed by Chinese Taipei (62), Thailand (49), the US (40), Indonesia (39), Japan (39) and Malaysia (34) as on December 31, 2017.

Countries initiate anti-dumping probe to determine if the domestic industry has been hurt by a surge in below-cost imports. As a counter-measure, they impose duties under the multilateral World Trade Organization (WTO) regime. Anti-dumping measures are taken to ensure fair trade and provide a level-playing field to the domestic manufacturers. They are not a measure to restrict imports or cause an unjustified increase in cost of products.
