According to sources, India has levied a five-year anti-dumping tariff of up to $986 per tonne on Trichloro isocyanuric acid, a chemical used in water treatment that is imported from China and Japan.
Additionally, the tariff is in accordance with the Directorate General of Trade Remedies’ (DGTR) recommendations, which concluded that dumping of imports is hurting domestic industry. Unless it is changed sooner, the duty will be imposed for five years. China and Japan are two of India’s most important trading partners. According to sources, the Finance Ministry would enforce the charge within three months in accordance with the DGTR’s recommendation, which seeks to safeguard the home market and guarantee fair trade under WTO norms. This breakthrough could be advantageous for certain chemical businesses in India. Investors must independently evaluate the risk and rewards of the company as well as its competitiveness.
