Govt starts probe into alleged dumping of digital printing plates

20 May 2019 Evaluate

In order to protect the domestic players and to discourage cheap imports, the Government of India has started a probe into alleged dumping of digital printing plates from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam.

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) which ensures a level playing field to the Domestic Industry against the adverse impact of the unfair trade practices, has initiated an investigation after a complaint raised by a domestic manufacturer. Technova Imaging Systems had filed an application for imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports of digital offset printing plates from the five countries.

Further, DGTR said that it has sufficient evidence of dumping of the plates from certain companies of these five countries. If established that alleged dumping has caused material injury to the domestic manufacturer, the DGTR would recommend imposition of anti-dumping duty on the imports. The final call to impose the duty would be taken by the finance ministry.
