Countries impose anti-dumping duties to guard businesses' interests and the domestic market against unfair competition from imported goods. India has imposed anti-dumping duties on stainless steel products from China, valid for five years, with the duty rate ranging from 114 USD to 3,081 USD/ton, depending on the manufacturer.1. India: Increase anti-dumping duty on stainless steel imported from ChinaIn September 2022, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) of the Ministry of Commerce recommended the imposition of anti-dumping duties on China's stainless steel after three major Indian steel producers, including Chandan Steel Ltd, Tubacex Prakash India Pvt Ltd, and Welspun Specialty Solutions Ltd complained about dumping and market manipulation by Chinese steel exporters.Stainless steel seamless tubes and pipes are utilized in life, such as transporting liquids and gases or used in fields related to oil and gas, petrochemical, nuclear energy, thermal power, and atomic energy.DGTR decided to impose definitive anti-dumping duties after the investigation, ranging from 114 USD to 3,081 USD/ton depending on the manufacturer and lasting five years unless revoked, superseded, or amended earlier.Domestic steel companies like Venus Pipes and Ratnamani Metals and Tubes will benefit from India's decisive move, but importers must limit the supply of cheap, high-quality steel from abroad.2.
