Final Findings issued in the sunset review of anti-dumping duty on imports of Fluoroelastomer (FKM) from China. (29 Oct)
The DGTR issued final findings in the sunset review of anti-dumping duty on imports of Fluoroelastomer (FKM) from China. The Authority found that imports from the subject country had increased significantly. While the price undercutting was negative for exports by two foreign producers, it was significantly positive for all other producers. Further, the imports catered to significant demand in the Indian market while the domestic industry was operating with idle capacities. The Authority also found that there is likelihood of recurrence or continuation of dumping and injury to the domestic industry in the event of cessation of duties, as dumping had continued from the subject country and the imports had significantly increased. The Authority also noted that the foreign producers had idle capacities, exceeding the demand in India. Further, the producers in the subject country were export oriented and were exporting to third countries at dumped and injurious prices. Accordingly, the Authority has recommended continuation of anti-dumping duty for a further period of 5 years.

Continuation of anti-subsidy duty on imports of certain Polyethylene Terephthalate from India. (15 Oct)
Pursuant to a transitional review, the TRA determined that revocation of antisubsidy duty imposed on imports of PET from India would likely lead to continuation of subsidized imports into the United Kingdom, which is likely to cause injury to the domestic industry.

The duties imposed previously, ranging from 2.3% to 4.43%, were continued for IVL Dhunseri Petrochem Industries Private Limited, Reliance Industries Limited and Senpet Limited.
