Anti-Dumping Duty on Chinese Products

Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) conducts anti-dumping investigations, under the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and the rules made thereunder, on the basis of a duly substantiated application filed by the domestic industry alleging dumping of goods into the country causing injury to the domestic industry. The basic intent of anti-dumping measures is to eliminate injury caused to the domestic industry by the unfair trade practice of dumping and to create a level playing field for the domestic industry.

Currently, anti-dumping measures are in force on 90 products imported from the People’s Republic of China, including two pharmaceutical products.

Further, 24 anti-dumping investigations are presently in progress against the alleged dumping of imports from the People’s Republic of China.

This information was given by the Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
