DGAD suggests imposing anti-dumping duty on China

DGAD suggests imposing anti-dumping duty on China The Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) has recommended imposing definitive anti-dumping duty on China for imports of steel tubes and pipes from the country. The product under consideration has been exported by China to India under its normal value which has resulted in dumping. As a result the
domestic manufacturing has suffered material injury due to dumping. Earlier in May 2016, the government imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on seamless tubes, steel pipes, among others, imported from China for six months. In March 2016, DGAD had suggested to the income department to impose provisional levy on import of certain types of iron and steel pipes from China used in oil and gas exploration in a bid to defend the local manufacturing from reduced imports. DGAD is an authority that recommends imposition of definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of subject goods from the subject country so as to remove the injury to the domestic industry.
