The Chinese commerce ministry said the decision came after a preliminary ruling in January 2025, which confirmed both the existence of dumping and a causal link to damage suffered by domestic producers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Importers in China will now be required to pay the corresponding duties to customs authorities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">The move comes amid rising global trade tensions and a pattern of reciprocal trade remedies. In March, India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies initiated 11 new investigations and issued final findings in 13 anti-dumping cases, including against Chinese exports such as aluminium foil, vitamin-A palmitate, and vacuum flasks.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Of the 13 cases concluded by India, 12 involved Chinese products. India has also provisionally imposed duties of up to USD 873 per tonne on Chinese aluminium foil.</span></p> <p><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px">(KNN Bureau)</span></strong></em></p> 42024 https://knnindia.co.in/news/newsdetails/sectors/china-imposes-anti-dumping-duties-on-indian-pesticide-imports 2025-05-08 14:28:07 knnindia.co.in
