The Commerce Ministry's investigation arm -- Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has started anti-dumping probes against imports of five products from China and other nations. The investigation was initiated following separate complaints filled by domestic manufacturers. The applicants have alleged that the dumped imports of these goods are causing material injury and has requested the imposition of anti-dumping duties.
The DGTR has launched investigation against imports of moulded soda-lime glass vials, used in pharma industry for storage of injectable medicines, vaccines, antibiotics, from China; electric tractors, used in logistics and goods transportation operations, by Chinese firms; Cyanuric Chloride, used in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, dyes and pigments industries, from China and the European Union (EU); carbon raiser made anthracite coal from China; and Polyethylene Terephthalate Film above 100 microns, used in industrial applications from China, Singapore, Thailand and the UAE.
In all these probes, DGTR would determine the existence, degree and effect of the alleged dumping of the chemical exported from these countries. If it is established that the dumping has caused material injury to domestic players, the DGTR would recommend the imposition of duties on imports of all these five products. The finance ministry takes the final decision to impose these duties. The anti-dumping probes are conducted by countries to determine if domestic industries have been hurt because of a surge in cheap imports.
