In order to guard domestic manufacturers from cheap imports, India has again imposed definitive anti-dumping duty on certain types of measuring tapes from China for five years. The duty was imposed on ‘steel and fibre glass measuring tapes and their parts and components’ after the commerce ministry’s investigation arm Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) recommended for continuation of the duty.
The DGTR in its sunset review probe has concluded that there is a continued dumping of the goods from China, and the imports are likely to enter the Indian market at dumped prices in the event of expiry of the duty. An anti-dumping duty of $1.83 per kg will be imposed on some companies, while others will attract $2.56 per kg.
The anti-dumping duty imposed under this notification shall be effective for a period of five years (unless revoked, superseded or amended earlier) and shall be paid in Indian currency. The department had imposed the duty first time on July 9, 2015, for five years.
