India has started a probe into the alleged dumping of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, United Arab Emirates and the US, following a complaint by an industry association. Chemicals and Petrochemicals Manufacturers Association on behalf of the domestic industry has filed an application before the commerce ministry's investigation arm the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) for initiation of an anti-dumping investigation on imports of LDPE from six countries.
According to a notification of the DGTR, the applicant has alleged that the domestic industry has impacted due to dumped imports of LDPE from these countries. The association has requested for the imposition of anti-dumping duty on the import. On the basis of the duly substantiated written application by or on behalf of the domestic industry, and having satisfied itself, on the basis of the prima facie evidence submitted, about dumping of the subject goods...the authority, hereby, initiates an investigation.
In the probe, DGTR will determine the existence, degree and effect of alleged dumping on domestic manufacturers. If it is established that the dumping has impacted the domestic industry, the directorate would recommend imposition of anti-dumping duty. The finance ministry will take the final decision on imposing these duties.
