India Reviewing Nylon Tyre Cord Anti-Dumping Policy

India has initiated a sunset review of Anti-dumping duty on imported Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric from China. The review has been called for as by the domestic industry as Indian companies in this sector wish to see the current anti-dumping duty both continued and enhanced. Notification of the review, released by India’s Department of Commerce on September 16, states that “dumping has continued in spite of imposition of antidumping duty on import of the subject goods from China PR and the domestic industry continues to suffer injury on account of dumping from the subject country.”

The imposition of anti-dumping duty on nylon tyre cord fabric imports originating or exported from China was recommended in March 2005, following which the Department of Revenues imposed a provisional duty and definitive anti-dumping duty.
