India, in order to save domestic producers, has imposed anti-dumping duty on China's ceramic tableware and kitchenware.
The duty imposed on shipping tableware and kitchenware shipped from China will attract an anti-dumping duty of USD 1.04 per kg making imports expensive.
The notice states
After an investigation, the DGAD recommended imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty on the imports. DGAD concluded that ceramic tableware and kitchenware, excluding knives and toilet items, are being exported from China to India "below its normal value, resulting in dumping".
Based on the recommendations, the revenue department in the finance ministry has imposed the duty. The domestic industry, it observed, has suffered material injury due to dumping.
Anti-dumping duties are evaluated generally in an amount equal to the difference between the importing country's FOB price of the goods and (at the time of their importation) the market value of similar goods in the exporting country or other countries.
